The Mask Itself Lyrics


(Str. IA)

When I was mucking out my attic-room

I found a very awful mask

I put it on when I was at the school

Sat down in clas and did my task

(Bridge)

Slowly I noticed that behind it

No one recoginzed my lovely face

(Str. IB)

So I promised myself I will take off this shit

But when I was back home I realized...

(Chorus)

... I am not able to remove it

I have become the mask itself

The only way to free me from it

Is to gain back my inner self

(Str. IIA)

So I went to a "psycho-doctor" and

Explained him my situation

He told me:

"Sorry man, I can't help you

I cannot see your inner self."

(Bridge II)

"Your put on the mask for protection

To ward off the attacks that you have...

(Str. IIB)

... to face in your life when you want to bring up

Yourself to a reflected, strong adult, but...

(Chorus)

... you are not able to remove it

You have become the mask itself

The only want to free yourself man

Is to walk...

... into the dungeons of your heart"
