Are you afraid to be the person that you are?

And in the light are you surprised at what you see?

Does it hurt to lock yourself up in the dark?Does it help to know you′re living just like me?

A harsh world for a gentle soul

A tight mask makes a dented skull

Keeping secrets that you can't let go

Afraid to face the side that no one knows

And I′ll skim the in-between

Find the semblances I seek for safety

Make sure no one sees

This identity is bound to break me

Stay quiet about it

There's no way around this

I'll cover my tracks

It′s the perfect reaction

My skin becomes calloused

To make sure

You won′t find the rest of me

Hiding underneath

You won't find the rest of me

Hiding underneath

What′s it like to live your life as someone else?

Most of the time it isn't really what it seems

And it feels better just to stay inside a shell

′Cause in the end I still have most of what I need

A harsh world for a gentle soul

A tight mask makes a dented skull

I'm keeping secrets that I can′t let go

I've come to terms knowing I'll never grow

But what am I following?

A living apology

What am I following?

A living apology (apology)

And I′ll skim the in-between

Find the semblances I seek for safety

Make sure no one sees

This identity is bound to break me

Stay quiet about it

There′s no way around this

I'll cover my tracks

It′s the perfect reaction

My skin becomes calloused

To make sure

You won't find the rest of me

Hiding underneath

You won′t find the rest of me

Hiding underneath

You won't find the rest of me
