Black Mask

Verse 1:

Rain paints ghosts across the glass.

Every shadow lets me pass.

Footsteps echo.

Breathing fast.

Running from a haunted past.

Then I see you standing there.

Black clothes.

Black mask.

Just watching.

You don't move.

You don't speak.

You just... exist.

Like you've always been there.

(Hey...)

Pre-Chorus:

Everyone says run away.

Everyone says you're insane.

So why...

Why do I always stay?

(Stay...)

Chorus:

You never came for me.

You came for the monsters underneath.

The ones who smile in daylight,

Then hide inside the streets.

Black mask.

No name.

No face I'll ever see.

Why do I feel safest...

When you're chasing me?

Tell me...

Are you saving me...

Or am I saving you?

(Who are you...?)

Verse 2:

Morning comes...

You're gone.

Again.

The room is quiet...

But somehow you're still here.

I close my eyes...

I see the rain.

I hear your footsteps...

Call my name.

So I write it down...

Before it fades.

The rain.

The mask.

The way you looked at me.

(Don't disappear...)

Bridge:

Every door.

Every street.

Every shadow looks the same.

Every scar.

Every scream.

Always leads me back again.

If I ever saw your face...

Would I recognise your eyes?

Or lose the only mystery...

That's ever made me feel alive?

(Don't wake up...)

Chorus:

You never came for me.

You came for the ones who made me bleed.

The ones the whole world overlooked.

The ones nobody sees.

Black mask.

Cold rain.

A shadow in the night.

Maybe monsters don't wear masks...

Maybe heroes hide.

So I'll keep writing every dream.

Every page.

Every scar.

Until one day...

You stop disappearing.

(Don't disappear...)

Because somewhere in the darkness...

I know you're real.

...

Don't I?

(Wake up...)
