PRETTY MASKS

Chorus

Shadows stretching tall

Your back against the wall

Every phrase you throw out there is false

Tangled in the webs you spin (your skin)

You pretend to have it all

Until you slip and start to fall

Burning white it starts to blind (it blinds)

Hurting every thought in your mind

Verse 1

Smallest words can sting

What a jagged song to sing

Paper promises folded thin into a knife

Walking on a tightrope over the sharpest edge

Silence screams loud when the trust is dead

Pre-Chorus

Searching for a match in the dark

Hoping for a tiny golden spark

Fanning every flame until it bites

Drowning in those neon ceiling lights

Chorus

Shadows stretching tall

Your back against the wall

Every phrase you throw out there is false

Tangled in the webs you spin (your skin)

You pretend to have it all

Until you slip and start to fall

Burning white it starts to blind (it blinds)

Hurting every thought in your mind

Verse 2

Face reflects the glass

Watch the heavy seconds pass

Counting down the time before you get caught

Living in a hall of mirrors you can't leave

Wearing poison right here on your sleeve

Pre-Chorus

Searching for a match in the dark

Hoping for a tiny golden spark

Fanning every flame until it bites

Drowning in those neon ceiling lights

Chorus

Shadows stretching tall

Your back against the wall

Every phrase you throw out there is false

Tangled in the webs you spin (your skin)

You pretend to have it all

Until you slip and start to fall

Burning white it starts to blind (it blinds)

Hurting every thought in your mind

Bridge

Wash it away

Beg for the day

When the truth feels better

Than the pretty masks we wear

Keep them closed

Keep them shut

Block the brightness out

Or see exactly what is there

Chorus

Shadows stretching tall

Your back against the wall

Every phrase you throw out there is false

Tangled in the webs you spin (your skin)

You pretend to have it all

Until you slip and start to fall

Burning white it starts to blind (it blinds)

Hurting every thought in your mind

Drop

Blind-blind-blinding

White light blinding

Bind-bind-binding

False heart binding
