Masks and Mirrors

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Nobody claps behind these walls

No curtain and no cue

Strip the name tag off my chest

Who's the one that's left with you

Pre-Chorus

I've been performing every part

Learned every line by heart

But when the mirrors all go dark

I forget where I start

Chorus

Who are we when nobody's watching

When the laughter dies away

Who are we when nobody's watching

Holding nothing but the day

All the masks we wore are falling

Every promise we replay

Who are we when nobody's watching

Maybe that's the whole point anyway

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

When nobody's watching now

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse 2

My mother's laugh inside my throat

My father's worried hands

Love and grief in the same coat

Scattered like the sands

Pre-Chorus

I built a skyline from my fears

Ran from it for years

But underneath the noise and gears

There's a voice that steers

Chorus

Who are we when nobody's watching

When the laughter dies away

Who are we when nobody's watching

Holding nothing but the day

All the masks we wear are falling

Every promise we replay

Who are we when nobody's watching

Maybe that's the whole point anyway

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

When nobody's watching now

Bridge

And one day we're just gone

Dust remembering the sun

The question hums and hums

Longer than the answer comes

Chorus

Who are we when nobody's watching

When the laughter dies away

Who are we when nobody's watching

Holding nothing but the day

All the masks we wore are falling

Every promise we replay

Who are we when nobody's watching

Maybe that's the whole point anyway

Outro

Mm

Maybe the question is enough

Mm

Maybe the question is the love
