[verse]

What we hold inside

Not the same as what we hide

Meet and greet then turn away

Below the surface secrets stay

Let the light in speak your mind

My walls are high they twist and wind

Beyond the words we leave behind

[pre-chorus]

I settle deep within my skin

I wanna scream let the truth begin

But keep my pain locked in

[chorus]

Where do I go from here

No place far no place near

Inside outside never clear

The hidden face we all fear

[verse]

Discrepancy of what we see

The masked pace of you and me

Allured to time we crawl the vine

Or sit and wait to realign

[pre-chorus]

I settle deep within my skin

I wanna scream let the truth begin

But keep my pain locked in

[chorus]

Where do I go from here

No place far no place near

Inside outside never clear

The hidden face we all fear

[break]

[chorus]

Disguise yourself or stand so true

Beyond the mask the real you

Match the in with out anew

That's what we're meant to do

Sometimes we have to hide

From judging eyes that criticize

Don't deny what makes you shine

Create the you that's truly fine

[outro]
