[Intro - Distorted, reverbed vocal lead-in, vocoders] Tired of playing... Rip the mask away... Who am I?... Who am I?... [Verse 1 - auto-tuned inflections, experimental vocal] A frozen smile fixed firmly on my face, The usual paint that hides the inner pain. I walk this strange, eternal, lonely space, Where hiding truth no longer feels like shame. [Pre-Chorus - build-up to the chorus drop] Nobody sees the tears within my eyes, Nobody hears the screaming of my soul. I live as if within some faded lies, In this invented silence, taking toll. [Chorus - Explosive hyperpop drop, heavy auto-tune, vocal layering] And I'm in mask, again from day to day, I play the part I learned so long ago. Beneath the rain and in the sun's harsh glow, I hide the thing that deep inside below [Instrumental - techno of 90th, polyphonic vocoders, 2 times play] I am in mask... Who am I?... Who am I?... [Verse 2 - Quick-fire flow, experimental vocal] I am afraid to open up, reveal, The one who's weak and vulnerable, alone. The world condemns, no loving grace they feel, For every single misstep I have known. [Bridge - Instrumental chaos, distorted whispers, and rapid beats] The mask became a portion of my face, Grown in so tightly, can't be torn away. I walk in circles, lost without a trace, Just losing my own peace from day to day. [Chorus - Explosive hyperpop drop, heavy auto-tune, vocal layering] And I'm in mask, again from day to day, I play the part I learned so long ago. Beneath the rain and in the sun's harsh glow, I hide the thing that deep inside below [Instrumental 2 - Techno of 90th, polyphonic vocoders, 2 times play] [Bridge] [Building Intensity] [Strings] But somewhere there, behind this layer of lies, A soul exists that wants itself to be. It's tired of the empty, vain disguise, And dreams of breaking out for light to see. To rip the mask off, scream aloud: "It's me!" No longer hiding true depths held within... [Pause - music Bridge to Chorus] [Chorus - Explosive hyperpop drop, heavy auto-tune, vocal layering] And I'm in mask, again from day to day, I play the part I learned so long ago. Beneath the rain and in the sun's harsh glow, I hide the thing that deep inside below [Heavy Drop, EDM Dance Pop, Aggressive Dance breakdown, vocal chopping, heavy glitching, polyphonic vocoders] Who am I?... Who am I?... Rip the mask away... Who am I?... Who am I?... [End]
