Lyric

Should I just smile—even if it’s fake?

Behind this mask, I’ve been screaming loud

Falling into traps of light and shade

Strings pulling me like a puppet still

I lock away my heart’s own voice

Tamed by what they call “what’s right”

But the me reflected in the glass

Is changing into someone I don’t know

If there’s no going back this time

I’ll break it all and take myself back

Tearing off this echoing mask

I want to trust only the truth

If this voice can reach you now

I’ll cut through the nights of lies

No one will steal away

My heartbeat, my future

Each wound I took made me stronger—

Was that just an illusion I believed?

But even this pain right now

Is proof that I’m alive for real

At the edge of this closed world

I hold a hope without a name

Facing twisted gazes still

I stand as who I am

Tearing off this echoing mask

Saying goodbye to days bound by lies

If this scream can echo through

I’ll be the light within the dark

No one can ever erase

My song, my truth

No matter how many times denied

My heart will never be stained

Layered on broken sounds

I’ll carve a brand new heartbeat

Shatter now this echoing mask

Burn away the false justice

Let this voice become my proof—

I’m alive here, standing strong

No one will rule me now

My voice, my world

Behind this mask, a faint smile wakes—

The true me opening my eyes
