[Verse 1]
[Solo Piano - Sparse and Delicate]
[Vocals - Breathless Whisper]
The perfect face, the steady hand.
A language I don't understand.
You build your walls up, cool and deep.
Around the secrets you keep.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Cello enters softly]
[Vocal intensity increases]
But then a laugh, a clumsy spin.
The light comes pouring out from in.

[Chorus]
[Piano becomes fuller]
[Bass enters gently]
[Clear, Strong Vocals]
When I look at you, the world just fades.
And I see through all your masquerades.
I see the hero, holding back the tears.
Still fighting after all these years.
Behind those steel eyes, I see the pain.
Your hidden shelter from the rain.

[Turnaround]
[Short Piano Solo - Melancholy]
[Crowd clapping in time]

[Verse 2]
[Piano and Strings]
[Vocals - Intimate]
You wear that logic like a shield.
The truest heart you've ever sealed.
You analyze and you assess.
And hide the beautiful mess.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Build Up]
But then you trip on your own feet.
In a moment, bittersweet...

[Chorus]
[Explosive Emotion]
[Crowd Singing Along]
When I look at you, the world just fades!
And I see through all your masquerades!
I see the hero, holding back the tears!
Still fighting after all these years!
Behind those steel eyes, I see the pain!
Your hidden shelter from the rain!

[Bridge]
[Music Drops Out completely]
[Just Silence and faint crowd noise]
[Spoken - Raw, breaking voice]
Don't you think I know that part you play?
I wear a mask just like it... all the same.
[Deep Breath]
So let it break...
You're not alone in here...

[Final Chorus]
[FULL BAND EXPLOSION]
[Gospel Choir Backing]
[Powerful Belt - Gaga Style]
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, THE WORLD JUST FADES!
AND I SEE THROUGH ALL YOUR MASQUERADES!
I SEE THE HERO, HOLDING BACK THE TEARS!
STILL FIGHTING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
BEHIND THOSE STEEL EYES, I SEE THE PAIN!
YOUR HIDDEN SHELTER FROM THE RAIN!

[Outro]
[Music fades rapidly to solo piano]
[Vocals - Soft and Direct]
Behind those steel eyes...
I see myself in you.
[Piano Notes Fade]
I see you...
(Oh, I see you...)
Behind those eyes...
[Crowd Erupts in Applause]
[End]

[Intro] [Live Arena Sound] [Crowd Roaring and Whistling] [Anya plays a few chords on the piano - crowd cheers louder] [Spoken - Intimate, Echoing over PA] I see a lot of masks out there tonight. But this song... This is for the person underneath. [Verse 1] [Solo Piano - Sparse and Delicate] [Vocals - Breathless Whisper] The perfect face, the steady hand. A language I don't understand.
