Mask Of A Woman

Verse 1

Clock on the white wall

Ticks way too loud for the silence

Tried to bake some bread today

Burnt it till the center was black charcoal

Folding all my shirts

In straight little rows for no one

Pre-Chorus

But the air tastes thin

(The air is thin)

Like I'm swimming in glass

Everything looks familiar

(Everything looks the same)

But I can't find the door back home

Chorus

Waking up is the hardest part

Doing what the neighbors do (Hardest part)

Wave hello across the lawn

(Across the lawn)

Wait for the weight to drop (To drop)

It feels like acting

(It feels like pretending)

Just a mask of a woman I knew

(The woman I knew)

Normality is a ghost in the hallway

Verse 2

Groceries in the paper bag

Apples and the heavy gray canned peas

Forgot how to count the change

Staring at the lines on my dry palms

Radio plays a song I liked

I can't remember any of the rhythm

Pre-Chorus

But the air tastes thin

(The air is thin)

Like I'm swimming in glass

Everything looks familiar

(Everything looks the same)

But I can't find the door back home

Chorus

Waking up is the hardest part

Doing what the neighbors do (Hardest part)

Wave hello across the lawn

(Across the lawn)

Wait for the weight to drop (To drop)

It feels like acting

(It feels like pretending)

Just a mask of a woman I knew

(The woman I knew)

Normality is a ghost in the hallway

Bridge

Tie my shoes (Tie my shoes)

Brush my teeth (Brush my hair)

Eat the food (Eat the dirt)

I am fine (I am lost)

(I am lost)

(I am lost)

Chorus

Waking up is the hardest part

Doing what the neighbors do (Hardest part)

Wave hello across the lawn

(Across the lawn)

Wait for the weight to drop (To drop)

It feels like acting

(It feels like pretending)

Just a mask of a woman I knew

(The woman I knew)

Normality is a ghost in the hallway
