Are you afraid to be the person that you are?
And in the light are you surprised at what you see?
Does it hurt to lock yourself up in the dark?
Does it help to know you’re living just like me?

A harsh world for a gentle soul
A tight mask makes a dented skull
Keeping secrets that you can’t let go
Afraid to face the side that no one knows

And I’ll skim the in-between
Find the semblances I seek for safety
Make sure no one sees
This identity is bound to break me
Stay quiet about it
There’s no way around this
I’ll cover my tracks, it’s the perfect reaction
My skin becomes calloused
To make sure you won’t
Find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
You won't find the rest of me hiding underneath

What’s it like to live your life as someone else?
Most of the time it isn’t really what it seems
And it feels better just to stay inside a shell
Cause in the end I still have most of what I need

A harsh world for a gentle soul
A tight mask makes a dented skull
I’m keeping secrets that I can’t let go
I’ve come to terms knowing I’ll never grow

But what am I following?
A living apology
But what am I following?
A living apology

And I’ll skim the in-between
Find the semblances I seek for safety
Make sure no one sees
This identity is bound to break me
Stay quiet about it
There’s no way around this
I’ll cover my tracks, it’s the perfect reaction
My skin becomes calloused
To make sure you won’t
Find the rest of me
Hiding underneath
You won't find the rest of me hiding underneath

You won't find the rest of me
