The Mask

Yellow taxes with their lights on
Neons signs arrive the sky
Crowd rush pass like there is a sale on
And I'm the fashion left behind

Nobody knows the man I hold inside
I play the part to wear a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull
The monster from the man
I've been forgetting who I really am

I know you only see the surface.
Like all the windows on this street
The lives behind the curtains
The loving that we never see

So I fought the thought and fought and tried to win
And of all the battle
The hardest on
Has been within.

Nobody knows the man i hold inside
I play the part to wear a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull
The monster from the man
I've been forgetting who I really am

You knew you never saw me as I am

I am a part of the crowd now
And I don't leave myself alone

Nobody knew the man I was inside
I play the part and wore a mask to hide
And it took me time to pull
The monster from the man
You let me see me as I really am
Whoo-o

Not forgetting who I am
Ooh-o
