>[Intro: Spoken] Get it straight, CDE >[Verse 1] Brothers, that what we called this Talk to me, bros don’t keep secrets Well I just did and I prolly have These songs I write, sometimes it’s all I have Anger comes like a task and I wear it like a mask And when people ask why I wear the mask This mask hides the secrets I try to hide I ain’t trying to seem bad or mad But that I won’t share what I have Cause I don’t want anyone to know The CDE I put on like a mask So please don’t ask Why I hide from u, don’t try to grasp >[Pre-Chorus] I try to hide my feelings that I have Try to be Stoic, that’s why I keep a mask Because if I shared me, then I’d share my jealousy And I don’t want that to be me Trying to paint a picture of a better me >[Chorus] U look at me like I messed up I look at u like I don’t know how to trust Even though, u and Zach is all I have So share my feelings shouldn’t be a task But I’m too afraid to take of my mask >[Verse 2] If bros don’t hide, then what do I find When I really wanna lie Cause I finally really hide I’m afraid of what U will find I’m not trying be bitter, but I’m not better Than the mask I hide under Cause I won’t take it off I can’t be enough, without this mask Cause if I take it off, what if I lose all I have Ur part of few I got, or so I thought >[Pre-Chorus] I try to hide my feelings that I have Try to be Stoic, that’s why I keep a mask Because if I shared me, then I’d share my jealousy And I don’t want that to be me Trying to paint a picture of a better me >[Chorus] U look at me like I messed up I look at u like I don’t know how to trust Even though, u and Zach is all I have So share my feelings shouldn’t be a task But I’m too afraid to take of my mask >[Verse 3] Don’t try to grasp, what I try to hide My insecurity, is that deep down, u hate me Even when I try to be the best friend I can be Trying to be as real as I can be But sometimes, I play fake Hoping this pause doesn’t find the cause That I am in the wrong That I’m not that strong Cause my worst fear is letting go When it rains, I try to hide What I hope u can’t find When I’m confiding under pressure Of these insecurities, I can’t measure If I’m really a treasure Cause u all are mine >[Bridge] Don’t try to find it, it’s hidden Where it can’t be found It’s in my mind palace Where everything is perfectly locked up Except for me~ >[Verse 4] Really, I wanna be free to feel real But I can’t get rid of this mask And please don’t ask why I’m afraid of what people will find So don’t ask me why >[Finale-Chorus] This is my mask, it’s how I hide All my insecurities, Don’t ask why Cause me comes out like fragments And I know what I ment Even when I try to pretend Of who I think I need to be~ >[Outro]
