Rina Kaze - Stage Mask Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Perfect smile, perfect pose
Designer lies in designer clothes
They all think they know my story
But behind these lights, it's getting gory
Fake friends with their fake embrace
Can't see the tears behind my face

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I put it on
Till I forget what's right or wrong
This masquerade's become my home
Still dancing when I'm all alone

[Chorus]
Stage mask, stage mask
Hide the cracks, make it last
Playing parts that aren't me
While they watch and judge what they see
Stage mask, stage mask
Living fast, trapped in the past
Who am I beneath this shine?
Just a girl crossing the line

[Verse 2]
Midnight calls and empty halls
Champagne dreams behind these walls
They want perfect, they want pure
But my truth's becoming too obscure
Glitter hides the mess inside
These neon lights are where I hide

[Bridge]
Stripped down, breaking now
Can't keep this facade somehow
The real me's screaming to get out
But success means selling out

[Chorus]
Stage mask, stage mask
Hide the cracks, make it last
Playing parts that aren't me
While they watch and judge what they see
Stage mask, stage mask
Living fast, trapped in the past
Who am I beneath this shine?
Just a girl crossing the line

[Outro]
The curtain's falling, mask is too
But I don't know which one is true
Am I the girl behind the screen?
Or just the one they want to see?
