"The Mask And The Mirror" lyrics

"The Mask And The Mirror"

I feel it on my skin
When the darkness settles in, and I know it's time
First, the quiet, then the pain
And I'm back in hell again, and I want to die

You might find me in the shadows
You might see me in the light
But you'll never know the demons that I fight
And this face I wear for you
God-damn, I wear it well
I'll see you on the other side of hell

I walk around in silence
All the while in need of guidance through the haze
And I try to do my very best
But this heart is dark inside my chest these days
(These days) (These days) (Oooh)

You might find me in the shadows
You might see me in the light
But you'll never know the demons that I fight (Oooh)
And this face I wear for you
God-damn, I wear it well
I'll see you on the other side of hell
(Oooh)

There's comfort in the pain, sometimes (Ahhhh)
And I tend to tell myself these little lies (Ahhhh)
And I feel it like a storm inside (Inside)
But when I've lost the will to live, I've lost the fight

You might find me in the shadows
You might see me in the light
But you'll never know the demons that I fight (Oooh)
And this face I wear for you
God-damn, I wear it well
And I'll see you on the other side of hell

You might find me in the shadows
You might see me in the light
You'll never know the demons that I fight
And this face I wear for you
God-damn, I wear it well
I'll see you on the other side of hell
