So much pressure
It's not hard to see the crack in the frame
So much pressure
(Draped across, well it's draped across your face)
Screaming "I know your name"
Until I cannot speak
Nighttime
Past the shade
When it seems so familiar
(To decide the way)
But still, in she walks with a brand new face
(All around)
It's the same
(When you describe this place)
It's the same old song
Hide inside
Like you were ready to stay
But it won't be long
When you know
That nothing here can make this right
And you are the one that I am
Let down
Eyes burn
From the smoke in my head
As we walk through the crowd
I notice the shape I'm in
Why I'm always
Unable to decipher what's on the page
Tell me that I'm wrong
And I'm not the only one
To wear the mask
And take my sweet time
It's a shame I can't explain to you
What I've become
So much of the pressure
You had to see the painting
For the brush stroke to fall
(Inside us all)
Is a living, endless, circus
That comes back around before bleeding
Through the lines to find
Who we are
Hide inside
I wasn't ready to stay
Why wait so long?
When you try to find your way
By drifting in between the lines
It takes some time
Get down
Away
From the smoke in my head
As we walk through the clouds
I notice the shape that I'm in
Why I'm always
Unable to decipher that
Tell me that I'm wrong
(I won't believe you)
And I'm not the only one
(I'm not the one)
To wear the mask
(Why you gotta say that)
And take my sweet time
(Over and over)
Over and over again
(You can't see my face)
'Til I barely recognize who I am
