Mask of Sanity Songtext

von Phoenix Effect

Got me where you wanted
Got me where you needed
Got my mind on the edge of insanity
Don't want you to find me
Don't want you to see me
Don't want you to know the real me

Still my solution makes me run
Like a coward I crawl down the hole n' hide
But no matter what, I will find you by my side

Follow, take me, take me from vanity
I am what lays behind the mask of sanity
Hollow, empty, don't know if I'm still me
Come peel away this mask of depravity

So you play with fire
With the way I'm wired
Shooting down my convictions and what I know
Like a gun for hire
Drag me through the mire
Til' I hear you speaking inside my soul

This time around I don't wanna run
Cos no matter what, you're here in spite of what I've done

Follow, take me, take me from vanity
I am what lays behind the mask of sanity
Hollow, empty, don't know if I'm still me
Come peel away this mask of depravity

Live it like you're lovin' it
Love it and you're livin' it
Life through the eyes
Of the mask of sanity
