[Verse] You wear your mask like a second skin Hide your heart from the world within A hollow laugh a crooked grin You chase a race you'll never win [Verse 2] Your shadows dance in the neon glow Empty streets where secrets flow Every word's a lie you sew And still You reap what you don't know [Chorus] You show me how I do not want to be A mirror cracked for all to see I'll carve my path and set me free You won't define the soul in me [Verse 3] You build your walls so cold and high But walls can't hold a hollow sky Your truth's a ghost that waves goodbye A fading echo A silent cry [Bridge] I won't follow the road you pave It's a journey straight to the grave I'll light the spark I'll choose the brave Find my freedom in each wave [Chorus] You show me how I do not want to be A mirror cracked for all to see I'll carve my path and set me free You won't define the soul in me
