The Masks We Wear

from Year of the Rats by Hunter Alive

lyrics

Unable to adapt, to the ever growing dark
Everything is scary, afraid to embark
Your eyes just won't adjust, you need to show your bark
Black and white gives way to blindness, when the contrast isn't stark

I see you cringe inside your shell
To see me enter the world
Must put you in hell
Grotesque and ugly
It stings your eyes

Back off
Eradicate

Stop acting like an animal
Before someone puts you down
You can burn on your own cross
But you're just another clown

I see you cringe inside your shell
To see me enter the world
Must put you in hell
Grotesque and ugly
It stings your eyes

Do I make you feel afraid
When I enter your world
When I pop that bubble
Are you scared

Do I make you cry
When I crush your world
When I break that facade
And you're the ugly one

God you reek
Maybe you're the freak

Your words draw blood
And mark flesh like arrows
Yet we're branded peculiar
Take a good look in the mirror

Yeah I'm a fucking freak
And that's okay
