Name With No Face

You hide behind a screen Say things you’d never say to me A name with no face on it Makes you feel so bold tonight You throw the stone, then run Laugh like it’s all just fun But every word you leave Still cuts when I breathe You think the dark won’t talk You think the trace runs cold But masks don’t wash the mess Out of a human soul Mask on, truth gone You let the worst part run Mask on, truth gone Now look what you have done You say it means nothing (when you know it means everything) Mask on, truth gone And the damage comes fast No eye contact, no shame Just a handle and a game You push until it breaks Then call it just a joke You want the crowd, the chase The rush of not seeing my face But hiding gives you room To become something cruel You think the dark won’t talk You think the trace runs cold But masks don’t wash the mess Out of a human soul Mask on, truth gone You let the worst part run Mask on, truth gone Now look what you have done You say it means nothing (when you know it means everything) Mask on, truth gone And the damage comes fast Take off the cover Stand in the light Say it to my face If you mean it tonight 'Cause power in hiding Turns poison to sport And every little secret Finds its way back home Mask on, truth gone You let the worst part run Mask on, truth gone Now look what you have done You say it means nothing (when you know it means everything) Mask on, truth gone But the damage comes fast Mask on, truth gone Mask on, truth gone (too late to hide it now) Track from the album "Sin Parade"
