Masks Lyrics by The Magic Lantern

To The Islands

2018

It's not that easy
All that effort
To keep those muscles moving
When you’re black and blue inside
Though you do so well to hide it

So still and silent
The day breaks violently
Colour creeping in the corners
Driving shadows from the floor
Like driftwood on the shore line

But sometimes I see
Your mask slipping down
Don't be scared
No don't be scared

Because you’re beautiful
But you're hurting bad
There's nothing to be done
But let time run and run
A beginning entails it's end
And what's broken we'll mend

You're broken
Broken
Broken down

Come on let's lie down
And I’ll stroke your hair
And tell you it’s going to be
Alright in the end

Believe me
Believe me

But it's not that easy
All that effort
To keep those muscles moving
When you’re black and blue inside

Though you do
So well
To hide it
