lyrics

I want
To be free of the restraints
We’re all living in fear
And it’s starting to inflate
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
It’s the sickness
We don’t wanna talk about
But it’s all we hear
Looking over my shoulder
Pull my loved one closer
Wishing I could her
As the night draws near
I can be stronger for us
This is beyond me
This is beyond you
All of us
I want
To be free of the restraints
Like a ghost town over here
Get inside before it’s late
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
This is for a greater cause
Something bigger than me
Something further than I can see
I will never need applause
This is something bigger than me
I can be stronger for us
This is beyond me
This is beyond you
All of us
Now I want
To be free of the restraints
We’re all living in fear
And it’s starting to inflate
Our emotions are in bits
Don’t know the half of it
Because,
I hide behind the mask
Because I hide the mask
But I will gladly wear that mask.
