Truth Behind The Mask

[Intro] [Dark atmospheric pads swell] [Soft vocal delay, ethereal echo vocalizing] [Verse 1] [Minimalist rolling drums, deep sub-bass pulse] I didn't want to fall in love I resisted... every step of the way You kept on showing me your heart And loving me every single day You chased away my hesitation With every promise that you made I never saw the cracks beneath The picture that you chose to paint [Pre-Chorus] [Drums drop out, sudden dark ethereal space] Stories danced off your tongue easy...
