This isn't a masquerade or a promenade
so why am I living this way
I'm not looking for a fraid, this isn't Halloween night
I can't find the words, to say what I need to say

'Cause this mask that I'm wearing isn't right for me
I can't shake these feelings anymore
If you were really here, I don't know what I would do
'Cause everytime I feel I'm standing on my feet
I end up falling to the floor

And so I've been taking time to clear my mind
I need this for myself
It's like a cheap kind of tape
I'm sick of being fake
I'm lost at sea, come rescue me
Can anybody help?

'Cause this mask that I'm wearing isn't right for me
I can't shake these feelings anymore
If you were really here, I don't know what I would do
'Cause everytime I feel I'm standing on my feet
I end up falling to the floor

Walk a little farther
Don't stop now
Try a little harder
We can make it somehow
Keep on climbing
Up your slope
Keep on shining
There's always hope
There's always hope
There's always hope
There's always hope
There's always hope
Always hope
There's always hope
