lyrics

Why you latch on tight to
Thoughts that you don’t like
Act and laugh in spite
With burning rage
With every stare you make
The further away it takes
The further away it takes you...
That smiling mask that kills you
Hiding what everybody should see,
Face the face that is you
Before the hatch opens...
Put myself on a plate
I’m all you can eat
You glare at me like I’m to blame
Though you can’t claim to take any other door
Than the one you bargained for
As it shuts in your shame
As it shuts in your shame...
That smiling mask that kills you
Hiding what everybody should see,
Face the face that is you
Before the hatch opens...
