Mask. Lyrics by Lazareth

I Am Not a Psychopath: End the Stigma

2018

[Intro]
Nobody knows me, not even my friends
I wear a mask and it's all pretend
Ask how I'm doing, and I'll say that I'm fine
But in reality, it feels like I'm dyin'

[Verse 1]
Faking every day, never show my pain
All the people left when I told 'em bout my stress
And I'm hoping that you'll stay
And that's solid truth, I'm scared of losing you
Contemplating on opening up, hoping I'm not too broken to love
Cuz you'll have to see past the tragedies
That've grappled me into catastrophe
I know my brain just ain't okay
And I know it'll just drive you away
And eventually end you and me being friends
And I don't want that so I'll just pretend
That I'm alright and everything is fine
So I'll wear a mask, don't look behind
Because you'll see these mood swings
And you'll kick me out just like Bruce Lee
Showing my scars just opens a door
For people to leave, I don't want it no more

[Chorus]
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through this again

[Verse 2]
Faking every day, never show my pain
Scared of getting snubbed by the people who will judge
So my expression stays a blank
My face'll say that I'm happy, even when I just can't be
Since that's what they expect, that's what they will get
Asking me what's wrong, I just need a rest
I've sold them all this whole facade, of how I'm fine and I won't fall
But little do they know I'm broke inside, little do they know my hope is dyin'
But I can't tell them that, they won't understand
They don't have the facts, they'll just make a crack
Think my pain is all humorous
Well that opinion's just ludicrous
Psychopath what you're calling me
Using that term improperly
'Cause it just means lacking empathy
At the end of the day don't remember me
As emo 'cause it ain't depression
Here's a lesson, it's rock
With emotional expression

[Chorus]
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through this again

[Verse 3]
Faking every day, never show my pain
If I tell you that I'm hurting it'll only cause a burden
So I'll say that I'm okay
'Cause I care about you just way too much
To expose you to the weight of all this stuff
With all these things that I'm working through
I don't want you to be hurting too
With all these things I could burden you
I don't care what you say I know it's true
So I'll never open up even if you ask
I'll say I'm fine and wear this mask
Now please don't be mad at me
I'm doing this for your sanity

[Chorus]
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through that again
I can't let you in, no I can't let you in
I can't let you in, can't go through this again

[Outro]
Nobody knows me, not even my friends
I wear a mask and it's all pretend
Ask how I'm doing, and I'll say that I'm fine
But in reality, it feels like I'm dyin'
