[Verse 1: Torrential]
Mask On!
I'm the hero and they need me
I've been hard at work fixing whatever the city's pleasing
Yeah I've failed a few times, who doesn't?
I'm a human and I never even said I wasn't
But I'll tell you one thing though, I'm amazing!
They're trying to shut me down, they're crazy!
Okay some are gonna hate me
But they're just jealous they can't face me
Cause I've got power, and they say it's corrupting me
But I'm on top, nobody is touching me
No not my family, my friends, or a girl
I'll step into the ring, it's me versus the world
So Ha! You think that I'm weak?
I'll show you my limits, tell me what you think
Take that, take that.. Then I blink
All I do is hurt people, I'm in way too deep
Mask Off,
LORD, I know You forgive, but I thought You redeem too
I fall back to this daily, I need You
Ability is taken, yet I'm asking for Your saving
But I still let my sin hold me anchored in lameness
If I could walk, I'd say I wanna dive too
A sea of Grace, but I usually continue to let my sin drown me
Oh man, I can't breathe
I cry as my face reflects, 'this can't be me!'
Why do I let these things still hold me back
I climb up these walls but I fall on my back
These people act like I'm a hero they need
But this power's just too much responsibility
I'd rather just lay it all down
Give up my identity, take back my crowns
I put on a good show but I act like a clown
Under the mask, I'm still wearing a frown
A frown
[Chorus: Benjamin Birdsong]
I put on a show like my life's right
But I won't let you know what my life's like
Still no matter where I go, every time
I burn this whole city down
I need You to save me! Save me! Save me..
I need You to save me! Save me! Save me..
[Verse 2: Chayshaun]
Nobody thought that I could make it like this
I'm the last person they ever expected
I'm pretty much invisible until I come spit
But I'm only trying to reflect Him!
Mask On,
I could save the whole world
I could be the hero, I could save my own girl
I'm the underdog, you don't see the real me
You just see a freak, but you never see underneath
'In Your strength I can crush any army,
With my GOD, I can scale any wall'
I can stop anyone who is trying to harm you,
And I'll be there to catch you if you fall
And if you're in need, I'll be right there to help
I keep these people from hurting themselves
No fear of danger when I come around,
I'll be there unexpected, no doubt
Mask Off..
Why am I doing what I'm doing
I'm trying to be a hero but I'm steady seeing ruin
I'm adding to my ego with everything I'm pursuing
And I hurt so many people, what's new?
Let crime take place? Not on my watch
It's time for me to change? Well it's not on my watch..
I'm seeing what I do, and it seems to help you
But as usual, I'm being blinded by what I watch
So why can't I see through this hopeless disguise?
Why can't I see that I'm broken inside?
Why can't I see all the tears in the eyes
Of the people I've hurt when I've spoken my lies?
But You see my heart, You see behind my mask
You listen to everything that I ask
You're the One Who can perform any task
So I need You to save me!
I'm stuck in my own trap
[Chorus: Benjamin Birdsong]
I put on a show like my life's right
But I won't let you know what my life's like
Still no matter where I go, every time
I burn this whole city down
I need You to save me! Save me! Save me..
I need You to save me! Save me! Save me..
