I’ll paint my mask on thicker,
Pray it hides my fears
And hope that it won’t wash away
With my falling tears
I’ll paint my mask on thicker,
A complex web of lies
To protect the real me from sight
And turn away your eyes
I’ll paint my mask on thicker
It’s smudging slightly now
But I will not dropp the act just yet
I really don’t know how
I’ll paint my mask on thicker
And a smile on my lips
But it’s crumbling around the edges
Don’t hate me if it slips! !
