Zathalen - Masks we wear Lyrics

We put on our masks for the world to see
Hiding away who we're meant to be
They cover the pain they shelter the scars
But slowly they're keeping us from who we are
The mask becomes a part of the face
A quiet invisible chase
Every word is carefully placed
Every feeling softly erased
But behind the eyes there's something true
A part of me still breaking through

This mask is a virus it's stealing the light
Hiding the day and it's keeping out the night
But I want to breathe I want to feel
I want to remember what is real
The mask is a virus but we can heal
The mask is a virus oh we can heal

We put on our masks when the morning breaks
Wearing them for love wearing them for fate
But deep inside we're crying out
Wishing we knew another route
The mask has made a home inside
But I can't keep it I can't hide
Every word is carefully placed
Every feeling softly erased
But behind the eyes there's something true
A part of me still breaking through

This mask is a virus it's stealing the light
Hiding the day and it's keeping out the night
But I want to breathe I want to feel
I want to remember what is real
The mask is a virus but we can heal
The mask is a virus oh we can heal

The masks we wear they break us down
Until there's no one left around
But underneath there's always hope
We'll take them off and learn to cope

This mask is a virus it's stealing the light
Hiding the day and it's keeping out the night
But I want to breathe I want to feel
I want to remember what is real
The mask is a virus but we can heal
The mask is a virus oh we can heal

The mask is fading
We can heal
