Paper Masks

Paper masks
Darker faces
Tender hands
Lovely places

Say my name
In tonight's sleep
Don't wake up
Don't forget me

Run away
Leave me to break
I'm falling apart
Don't look back, close your eyes
I've taken your heart
Now you're safe, now you're blind

Follow you
Go back to the place I never knew
It's better this way
Don't look back, close your eyes
A beautiful face
Hides the darkest of minds

Far away
But too close now
Words you say
Take a new sound

In my sleep
You can touch me
Don't wake up
You'll forget me

Run away
Leave me to break
I'm falling apart
Don't look back, close your eyes
I've taken your heart
Now you're safe, now you're blind

Follow you
Go back to the place I never knew
It's better this way
Don't look back, close your eyes
A beautiful face
Hides the darkest of minds

You gave me life and a new home
For the first time, I wasn't alone
You gave me everything you had
You loved my good parts and my bad

And now on comes the paper mask
It won't crumple nearly as fast
Time to return your stolen life
Don't look back, I'll set things right

Run away
Leave me to break
I'm falling apart
Don't look back, close your eyes
I've taken your heart
Now you're safe, now you're blind

Follow you
Go back to the place I never knew
It's better this way
Don't look back, close your eyes
A beautiful face
Hides the darkest of minds
