Why do people lie br And say they’re happy br When really inside br They’re collapsing. br br Why do people br And let the lies build br In the meanwhile br They are shattering. br br Why are we living in a world of masks? br Hiding behind this one or that. br Hidden behind another mask. br Afraid to show who we really are. br Some, braver those should be the stars. br So why are we living in a world of masks? br br The masks save us from who we don’t want to be br They shield us from the reality br They protect us so people can’t see br That most are more than they seem. br br Can’t people see the lies? br Can’t they tell what’s really inside? br I guess it’s just hard to resist br And now we don’t even notice it. br Living in a world of masks.
