This city’s full of faces that we wear
A mask for every doubt, for every fear
We stand in shadows, hoping they don’t see
The way we break, the way we long to be
The streets are cold, the nights are full of doubt
And every whisper calls my name out loud
I wonder if they know the truth I hide–
That deep inside, I’m lost, I’m terrified
In the city of masks, I play the part
A broken soul, a heavy heart
But underneath, I’m full of fear
Afraid that I will disappear
I watch the world, but feel I’m not enough
The streets we walk are paved with lies so tough
We talk of love, but can we even see
The way we’ve lost ourselves in mystery?
I smile, but every word I say feels wrong
I wonder how much longer I’ll stay strong
The city hums, but I’m an empty space
A heart that’s learned to hide behind the face
In the city of masks, I play the part
A broken soul, a heavy heart
But underneath, I’m full of fear
Afraid that I will disappear
Now as I walk these streets, I feel the weight
Of all the lies, the doubt, the love turned hate
But still, I wear the mask and play the fight
Afraid they’ll see the truth beneath my name
In the city of masks, I play the part
A broken soul, a heavy heart
But underneath, I’m full of fear
Afraid that I will disappear
