about

First track to be composed for this album, but last one to be finished. The lyrics went through 3 different iterations, with completely different concepts.

lyrics

Everything you try to be
You never show what's underneath
It's just a mask, it's all an act
For what you think we ought to be

You put the act, you act the part
But all along it's just a mask
Just let me see, what is below
All these things you always show

Everytime you look in the mirror
All you see is shadow
Deep within your act is hidden
A lovely the sparrow

Hey! Can you honestly tell me
You know who you are
Beneath all that clumsy make up
Who really hides?

All these things, you said to me
They come and go, your way to be
But underneath, behold and see
A real person, hides and lives

Let it out, it screams to be
The real you, for us to see
Stop the show, turn off the lights
Get off the stage, and face the fight

Everything you try to be
You never show what's underneath
It's just a mask, it's all an act
For what you think we ought to be

You put the act, you act the part
But all along it's just a mask
Just let me see, what is below
All these things you always show

Face the fight and show no sorrow
That's my best advice
All the truth you always borrow
Leave it all behind

All the best, the act is over
Throw your mask away
Be yourself and nothing more
Tomorrow and today
