I've got to find a way to trick myself and think everything's OK.  Until then, I will fool you all.  The simple things, I'll never let you see.  Impossible to get away from me.  Way up close, I can see them all.    If a lie could save my sanity,  Every thing I tell myself  Is for the sake of saving me.  Like a child, I must pretend.  'Cause in a world of make-believe,  This bullshit life comes to an end.    If I hide these scars,  Would you see how happy all this makes me?  I hope this mask is fooling you.  Tricking myself is hard to do.    My face is battered; my spirit's broke.  I barely breathe; it's pride I choke.  Down on my knees, I'll never let you know.  The simple things, I'll never let you see.  Impossible to get away from me.  Way up close, I can't see them all.    If a lie could save my sanity,  Every thing I tell myself  Is for the sake of saving me.  Like a child, I must pretend.  'Cause in a world of make-believe,  This bullshit life comes to an end.    If I hide these scars,  Would you see how happy all this makes me?  I hope this mask is fooling you.  Tricking myself is hard to do.
