“The mask”

Must be nice for you to love To feel the world without these gloves I see you standing, breathing free While this weight won’t leave me Shadows press against my chest I wear this mask, it’s my defense Every step toward letting go Feels like the air I need to breathe is gone [Pre-Chorus] I know you see me, know my face But this mask… it won’t erase I’d give you more if I could try But I can’t, I can’t, I won’t lie [Chorus] This armor keeps me safe, keeps me alive Even if it kills the part that wants to survive I see you here, and it tears me apart But I can’t let you in… it’s my heart [Verse 2 – Gamer / Discord Verse] I code to escape the pain I game to do the same I’m a machine just to survive I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, just to stay alive Wait… why is she still here? She keeps hitting me up on Discord Why her? Why do I feel drawn to her so? I caused chaos just to make her disappear This is aggravating me Usually they run or cheat to set me free But now she’s asking if I ate? How does she know that I have not? Why does she care? The others didn’t But I have to keep this mask on I can’t let go, I can’t let go… [Pre-Chorus 2] I know you see me, know my face But this mask… it won’t erase I’d give you more if I could try But I can’t, I can’t, I won’t lie [Chorus 2] This armor keeps me safe, keeps me alive Even if it kills the part that wants to survive I see you here, and it tears me apart But I can’t let you in… it’s my heart [Bridge] Maybe one day, maybe in time I’ll let it fall, and I’ll be fine But today, this mask is all I know I have to carry it… it’s how I grow [Outro] I see your love, I see your pain But I can’t let it in… I’ll stay the same This armor, this mask, it’s all I have And I’ll wear it till the end… till I can’t last ⸻ If you want, I can do Song 2: her perspective, absorbing the mask, for Suno next, and make it equally ready to drop in with emo vibes.
