[Verse 1] It’s only a matter of time... Sooner or later, it snaps. This papier-mâché façade I wear Will split like thunderclaps How long can I hold the mirror Say the girl looking back is me? This smile’s a set, this life’s a vignette This lie’s one I cannot flee [Bridge 1] And I hear the clock Ticking behind the applause. The curtain will drop, Exposing the flaw They’ll see me See the little girl in pain, The failure in the frame, The shadow without a name... [Chorus] Soon the moment will come When the mask cracks, And the spotlight burns too bright. When the silence screams, And the dream snaps In the middle of the night. They’ll see the wreck beneath the guise, The shell behind these eyes... And the moment will come. Oh, God the moment will come. [Verse 2] Can you hear me breaking? Beneath this dance, I drown I juggle the brilliance and decay Like a circus clown. I chose this cage willingly, I welded shut the door. I threw the key away because if you’d stay You’d run from the stench of my soul [Bridge 2] And when I stand At the end of all I’ve known No lights and no lies, Just me before the Throne. Will He hold me? Will He say my name? Will the truth I twisted Combust into raging flame? [Chorus] Soon the moment will come When the mask cracks, And the spotlight burns too bright. When the silence screams, And the dream snaps In the middle of the night. They’ll see the wreck I’ve tried to hide, The hollow soul I locked inside... And the moment will come. Oh, God, the moment will come. [Interlude] When it breaks Don’t you dare cry. You had a chance to see me Before I chose to die. Soon, the moment will come The moment will come [Final chorus] Soon the moment will come When the mask cracks, And the spotlight burns too bright. When the silence screams, And the dream snaps In the middle of the night. They’ll see the wreck beneath the guise, The shell behind these eyes... And the moment will come. Oh, God the moment will come. Soon the moment will come.
