Faces Behind the Mask

They wear a smile like a costume, so well rehearsed

Hide their fears beneath layers, in shadows immersed

Eyes cold as stone, yet smiling wide

A facade they keep so carefully amplified

Shadows dancing, can't be real

Who are you when no one's around?

The face you show, is it underground?

Fake faces in the mirror, hiding what’s inside

Pretending to be perfect, but the cracks they can't hide

Losing who we are in the masquerade

Truth beneath the surface, one day will invade

Lies spun like silk, a web they weave

Caught in a cycle, they can't believe

Glamour and glitter, illusions we chase

But behind closed doors, there's an empty space

Behind the mask, the truth’s concealed

Who are you when no one's around?

The face you show, is it underground?

Fake faces in the mirror, hiding what’s inside

Pretending to be perfect, but the cracks they can't hide

Losing who we are in the masquerade

Truth beneath the surface, one day will invade

Break through the masks, let the real show start

Unmask the pain, reveal your heart

Authentic flames in a world of disguise

Look in the mirror, see through their lies

No more faces hiding the soul

Be yourself, make yourself whole

The mask falls away, the truth will gleam

Living your life, chasing your dream
