I carved my face from porcelain lies Painted smiles while something inside dies The fractures spread like spider veins Can you see me through the stains? [Verse 2 - Building] They feed at night when silence falls These creatures crawling through my walls I wear their teeth, I speak their tongue The mask is heavy, I’m coming undone [Pre-Chorus - Vulnerable] Slipping, slipping The edges fray Who was I before I learned to play? [Chorus - Explosive, screaming sections] I’M SCREAMING UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN LET ME OUT, LET ME IN The demons feast, they know my name I wore this face to hide the shame THE MASK IS SLIPPING, SLIPPING I’M DISAPPEARING INTO NOTHING [Verse 3 - Haunting] In the mirror, a stranger stares Hollow eyes and tangled prayers The chaos swallows everything I’m just a puppet on their strings [Bridge - Soft, breaking] Tell me… tell me… Was I ever real? Or just a shadow Learning how to feel? (Building intensity) The cracks are showing The light bleeds through They’re eating, eating What’s left of you [Final Chorus - Cathartic] I’M SCREAMING UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN LET ME OUT, LET ME IN The demons feast, they know my name I wore this face to hide the shame THE MASK IS SLIPPING, SLIPPING I’M BREAKING THROUGH THE NOTHING [Outro - Whispered, defeated] The mask falls… And there’s nothing underneath Just echoes of a man Who forgot how to breathe
