Masques

from Patchwork Walls by Brother Keep

lyrics

Drawn dark circles round my eyes
Still a striking resemblance
A hazy face, a poor disguise
An image altered from my mind

Well I’m still waiting for someone to give me a sign

My eyes are locked to an empty floor
I’ve been looking for time but it's not where I’ll find any more
Now I’m left to dwell on it – all the ways I felt and the things I said
And I’m trying to phrase it all into something elegant

It won’t matter how thick I layer it
If that paint will always crack
It won’t matter how much I hate it
I can't hide behind that mask
Well I can’t – I’ll never come to terms
With the fact that I just maybe
Could have brought this all upon myself
An overwhelming deluge

I've been wearing a mask to impress you
I've been wearing a mask to pretend I'm alright
I've been wearing a mask to impress you
I've been wearing a mask but I can't sleep at night
I've been wearing a mask to impress you
I've been wearing a mask but won't put up a fight
I've been wearing a mask to impress you
I've been wearing a mask but I can't sleep at night
