Behind the Mask It Lies Lyrics by Messiah Cartiye

Comic Books and Cereal (Vol.1)

2024

[Verse]
In the spotlight, been feelin' so low
The way the fame has started to show
Trying to smile, but the pain then grows
Success and failure in a twisted flow
Walking down this road, fame on my mind
But the pressure getting heavy, can't leave it behind
Success isn't what it seems, I'm getting lost in this game of life
I'm paying the cost now, I'm paying the price
I wear a smile on my face but it's just a mask
Hidin' all my pain, tryna make it less
Everybody sees me as a shinin' star
But inside I'm breaking, falling apart
Don't know how to fix it back up
Success is fleeting, it's slipping through my hands
I thought it would save me, but I can't understand
The emptiness inside, the loneliness I feel
Feelin' the failure and pressure is all too real to me
Too many mistakes with all these girls and these relationships
Situationship, I wish I had some kisses and some hugs like these other niggas
I know that I'm not good enough
It's cold and lonely in here
I need a blanket just to get warm
[Outro]
I'ma die when the record stop
I'ma die when the record stop
I'ma die when the record stop
I'ma die when the record stop
I'ma die when the-
