Lyric

Building up a hollow frame, a grand design

Is there anyone I’m truly wishing to find?

Tonight again, floating in the dark so deep

On this palette of secrets that I keep

What color should I paint my soul tonight?

Ah

All the masks I’ve thrown away, scattered on the floor

Decorating "me," like a statue at the door

With every plastic Figure, cold and dry

They pile up towards tomorrow’s sky

Afraid of being hated, terrified of the light

I’m hiding everything just to stay out of sight

Ah

It can’t be helped? No, that’s just a lie!

"I’m hated anyway," I say with a sigh

Ah—if I stripped it all and bared my soul

What would you say to me? Would I be whole?

The courage to be real, to show the truth

The courage to exhaust the lies of my youth

It’s not "too late"—I need you to see

The person that is screaming inside of me

It can’t be helped? No, that’s just a lie!

Afraid of being hated, I’m just passing by

Ah—if I bared it all, something pure and white

A mix of everything, stepping into the light

The courage to be real, the courage to be seen

To show you exactly what I really mean

It can’t be helped? No, that’s just a lie!

Accepting my own shadows, I’m ready to try

These worn-out Figures, let’s throw them all away

Burn the plastic shells of yesterday

Ah—if I bared it all, what would you say?

I’m done with the layers, I’m clearing the way

Exhaling deep, exhaling strong

Looking back, it was always the final step

That hurt the most, the secrets that I kept

When you reached out your hand to set me free

I turned my back and ran from "we."

No more being scared, it’s a waste of time

To think, to expose, to start the climb

The territory begins where I draw my breath

Holding my silence like a living death

With the discarded Figures, let them fall

I want to grab your hand, I want it all!

The courage to be raw, the power to be true

Stripping the false Figure, coming home to you!

Ah—

Ah—
