Smile on Armor up Don't look inside The mirror lies when I walk by It says I'm fine, but I'm in pieces Rehearsed laughter, calculated steps Heart screams, face silent Everyone sees what I let them show But no one feels the weight of enduring it I learned to pretend it doesn't hurt Being strong became my greatest addiction and my greatest tormentor Lights on me, I don't fall Even when I'm losing all If I crack, I hide it deep No one hears the sound of me Mask on, mask on, I'm standing tall Mask on, mask on, but I'm about to fall They see power in my eyes But inside I'm barely alive Mask on, mask on, I survive While I break in silence every night Mask on, don't let it show Mask on, bury it low Who am I when no one is watching? Without an audience, without applause, without faith I carry the world on my shoulders, smiling But each step is another struggle Every day a private war Being invincible has become my trap If I let my guard down for even a second Who will stay when I can no longer bear to be who they want to see? I scream but there's no sound Crowded room, still I drown If I bleed, I paint it gold Turn my weakness into control Mask on, mask on, I'm standing tall Mask on, mask on, but I'm about to fall They see fire in my veins But they don't feel the burning pain Mask on, mask on, still alive But I'm dying every time I smile Take it off, I'm scared of what's beneath If I'm real, will you still stay with me? I built this wall to stay intact But I'm suffocating behind the act No escape No relief Mask on! Mask off, I'm losing ground Mask off, hear the real sound If I fall, let me fall real I'm done pretending what I feel Mask off, cracks on my skin This is where the truth begins Still breathing Even if the mirror breaks
