Nøcturnal - Behind the Mask (Reimagined) (Pre-Release Single)

[Intro] A face you think you know. A voice you've heard before. You know the way I walk in. You just don't know what for. [Verse 1] I wear the same clothes Say the same things Laugh when I'm supposed to Keep my hands still You know the little habits The way I look away You know when I'm joking At least that's what you say I've gotten good at giving Just enough to make it real A version you can recognize But never really feel [Pre-Chorus] Who am I? Who’s inside? The truth I keep, I cannot hide. [Chorus] Behind the mask, I scream in vain, You hear the sound but not the pain. You know my face, you know my name, But every answer sounds the same. Behind the mask, I disappear, Standing right here, but never near. You see the parts I let you see, And call that person me. [Verse 2] There are things I never mention Not because they're hard to say Some things lose their meaning When you give them words and names So I keep them in the silence Where nobody can change them No one gets to rearrange them Just to make the story make sense You can read between the lines You can guess what isn't there You can tell yourself you know me But you weren't there You weren't there When I learned to disappear [Pre-Chorus] Who am I? Who’s inside? The truth I keep, I cannot hide. [Chorus] Behind the mask, I scream in vain, You hear the sound but not the pain. You know my face, you know my name, But every answer sounds the same. Behind the mask, I disappear, Standing right here, but never near. You see the parts I let you see, And call that person me. [Bridge] Maybe you made it easy. Maybe I did. You gave them what they wanted. But I'm not who they saw. [Breakdown] You know my face. I do. You know my name. I do. [Build] But underneath it. You're still here. They thought they knew me. Maybe they never did. [Final Chorus] Behind the mask, I scream in vain, You hear the sound but not the pain. You know my face, you know my name, But you never knew what stayed the same. Behind the mask, I disappear, Standing right here, but never near. You see the parts I let you see, And call that person me. [Post-Chorus] You don't know me. Behind the mask. You never did. Behind the name. Maybe you never knew. [Outro] A face you think you know. A voice you've heard before. Behind the mask, I scream in vain Behind the mask, I disappear.
