UNMASKED

I keep fooling myself
With each mask that I wear
This burden I must bear
I'm stuck in disguise
With all these white lies
All these white lies

I am ready... for whatever may come around
Everything I do is for
The dearest to my heart

But I often have these thoughts
That I’m just playing my roles
Like an actor in the theater of life
With no way for a freedom’s cry

Every now and then
I try to put them away
I scratch them hard till I bleed
But I feel that’s what I need
From inside I have to fight my way out
Through the pain till I see the glimmer of light

I keep fooling myself
With all these white lies
all these white lies

Mesmerized... by the way of life
That everyone of us
Have to play our parts
How many more fights await me?
On this path I walk persistently
How many more cuts will I take?
Just to keep my loved ones safe

Every now and then
I try to put them away
I scratch them hard till I bleed
But I feel that’s what I need
From inside I have to fight my way out
Through the pain till I see the glimmer of light

That’s just the way humans are
Like actors we play
In the theater of life
That’s just the way humans are
The masks we wear
Are the burden we bear
Sacrificing ourselves
For the ones we try
So hard to protect

Don’t forget who you really are (really are)
Take them out, embrace your scars
Face the picture your life has made
And don’t let your identity fade
Don't let your identity fade

LYRICS:
Like a tool in the hands of fate
Made of love and hate

What holds all facts and stays intact?
What would you hide or boast about?
I know for sure
My past will chase me down
I'll face the naked truth
With all it's glory and flaws

Like a part of the game.
I'm suspended in a frame

Through the raging storms
I'll find my way that I had lost
But I remember now
All my scars, all that cost
I carried it all, it's time to rise above
Rise above…

What would you mean If time didn't exist?
A mere distant dream which blurred in the mist

These questions, speculations
Eternal calculation
distract you from your goal
So rise above it all!

Through the raging storms
I'll find my way that I had lost
But I remember now
All my scars, all that cost
I carried it all, it's time to rise above
Rise unbound

Like a part of the game
I'm suspended in a frame
A tool in the hands of fate
Made of love and hate

Through the raging storms…
Found my way that I had lost
But I remember now
All my scars, all that cost
I carried it all, it's time to rise above
Rise above…
Above it all!
