lyrics

I could have found many others
To step forward
But I chose you
But there’s a boy that hides

Sometimes I wonder
What hides behind those eyes
Is it a zero waiting for me
Or someone to seldom lie

Could you take off that mask
Mask
That mask
Mask

Could you take off that mask
Mask
That mask
Mask

One time too many
I have been fooled
It is hard to tell
Who I am talking to

Still it won’t hold me back
There’s no reason to hide
Unless there’s something that lacks
Then you flee to your side

Could you take off that mask
Mask
That mask
Mask

Could you take off that mask
Mask
That mask
Mask

Spoken word:
We need song and cinema and paintings and performance to help us challenge our assumptions. To question the way things are, and maybe inspire us to think about how things might be. The arts help us celebrate our triumphs, but also, holds up a mirror to our flaws. All of that deepens our understanding of the human condition. It helps us to see ourselves in each other. It helps to bind us together as a people.
