Behind The Mask Lyrics & Chords By Ivy & Gold

Mother, pick me up from the floor again,
tell me to count to ten.
Cover me with all the love that you can lend,
on you I can depend on.
Holding on not letting go
how can I feel alive again?
In this darkness on my own.
Mother, tell me is this where the story ends,
Do I have to start again?
Who's the man behind the mask?
You wore it well you had me fooled
till the last laugh.
And were you faking everyday?
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away.
You slashed me like a glass against the walls that we had made.
Walked away nothing to say,
just a debt that has been paid.
Mother, can't you see that I am broken?
(I was haunted, I was found,
then you run me into the ground)
Mother, mother, how long will my wound stay open?
I can't do this again.
Holding on not letting go,
how can I feel alive again?
In this darkness on my own,
I wish I knew how to pretend.
Mother, is this the price that I must pay?
As I slowly slip away.
Who's the man behind the mask?
You wore it well you had me fooled
till the last laugh.
And were you faking everyday?
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away.
I don't know where to begin,
you made me feel so dead in my own skin.
You streched me paper thin
(you knew I'd always give in)
You pushed me to the brink
you knocked me down or so you think
I played the game
is what the man in the mask would say
Who's the man behind the mask?
You wore it well you had me fooled
till the last laugh.
And were you faking every day?
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away.
Who's the man behind the mask?
You wore it well you had me fooled
till the last laugh.
And were you faking every day?
Now I can't breathe because you took my air away.
