Hiding Behind a Mask

I've been searching for answers I already know,
wasting my breath
on truth nobody will believe.

Maybe I do like to believe I'm the same
I'm just like everybody else
fighting back fears,

My tears I wasted
on false beliefs I thought was love
My screams I've drowned
somewhere beneath my burned out lungs.

Oh, I'm tangled in thorns
my body I'd convinced myself was made of stone
I'm sinking in the sea
an anchor my body is
stuck under water,

There's a loneliness sinking in
nobody to hear me,
nobody to see me
I'm behind a mask
my bare arms and legs covered in cloth
an anchor in the ground.
