She picked out her disguise
Been walking all her life
In the city of the masks
She keeps lookin' for her prize
She ain't lookin' for her soul
Been lost along the road
Now it's really getting cold
And she really wants to know
Just, when will she arrive?
She really wants to feel
She really wants to feel
What it's like to be alive
She sits in silence on psilocybin
See her submit and sliding
The mask comes off, and she sees whats hiding
The world dissolves, connect and vibing
No pain, no violence, no games, no lying
No words, we just flying, we just sighing (Wow)
All of the things I prepared her
I was nice to core for her like a coroner
Wasn't shocked by the things that she showed me
Accepted it all, accepted the flaws
Accept it in me cos I been down to see
City of shadows, walk with my hood up
Feel small like a sparrow, in order to grow
I've looked down some barrels, I've taken some arrows
But non through the heart, Cupid is silly
He don't know 'bout love, I don't know 'bout love
But I live for the ones that are marrow-deep
Yeah, the shadows creep
Come take bits, oh so casually
Just a casualty of being here and being me
Stay wide awake for the enemies
Dream wide asleep of the NME
Yeah, it hurts, but I'm feeling free
She picked out her disguise
Been walking all her life
In the city of the masks
She keeps lookin' for her prize
She ain't lookin' for her soul
Been lost along the road
Now it's really getting cold
And she really wants to know
What it's like to be alive
Baby tell me your story
So I can paint it for you
So I can tell it for you
To the past don't be so loyal
Yeah, I don't want to see giving up, ey
I don't want to see you rotting away
I know that you're lost
But you'll be finding your way
Like a dog that gets strayed
You'll be turning out straight
Don't let the hate be perturbing heart
I know that it's hard
She played you, he cheated
She left you, he beat you
Right from the start
They weren't really there
They had you but they didn't care
They had you but they weren't prepared
Sittin' on top the stairs, the violent eruptions
The childish deductions
I know that you're scared
I know its it unfair
But look at your self
Feeling all sorry for cards you were dealt
Get up right now and start giving them hell
Reach to the well
Baby don't you know?
You got a story to tell
She threw off her disguise
Yeah she really flies in life
In the city of the masks
She ain't lookin' for a prize
She sees right in her soul
Shes travelling the road
Sometimes it still gets cold
But now she really knows
That she'll never quite arrive
And she knows thats alright
Cos now she really knows
What it's like to be alive
