[Introduction with a dark organ solo]

I see them cry..

I see them die...

[One second silent]

And i feel...

Nothing.

[introducing the Cello instrument in the mix]

I've tried to love them...

I've tried to care for them..

..And yet...

I feel...

[One second silent]

Nothing.

[Pre-Chorus growing epic]

Your world...

Looks so different than mine..

You act like it's easy to love somebody else..

But for me.. I can only pretend.

I can't do anything else...

...An actor forever on the stage...

...A saint, hanging on the edge....

[Chorus]

The Mask of Sanity!

Will split... will Slip...

My Mask of Sanity!!

Keep on lying, keep on surviving, keep on acting.

The Mask of Sanity... Don't let it slip...

They will hate me, i am cursed... Psychopath, with no other path... no other choice...

[Whispering the last line.]

Than... To... Pretend.

[dark Verse]

I can't help but wonder why you dedicate your life to somebody else. Cherishing them, protecting them, promising them that you'll even give your life for them!

I don't see the point... I don't see the reason...

Try as i will, i will never understand it the way you do...

When i look at you, my eyes see nothing more than another tool to use and throw.

Do not take it personally.. It's likely the way i perceive this reality...

Oh, i don't expect you to understand me..

You may as well just pretend..

And i will feel...

Nothing.

[Chorus]

The Mask of Sanity!

Will split... will Slip...

My Mask of Sanity!!

Keep on lying, keep on surviving, keep on acting.

The Mask of Sanity... Don't let it slip...

They will hate me, i am cursed... Psychopath, with no other path... no other choice...

[Whispering the last line.]

Than... To... Pretend.

[Dark but sadder Verse]

I don't care about what they will feel...

I don't care if my honesty is disappointing..

I've dropped the mask for you.. And i want you to know.. This is not that i don't want to love anyone..

It's deep in my mind.. Something i didn't choose...

But i will not let it get the worst out of me, i wont let it control me.. Even if its means to wear my mask of sanity....

For eternity...

[Chorus]

The Mask of Sanity!

Will split... will Slip...

My Mask of Sanity!!

Keep on lying, keep on surviving, keep on acting.

The Mask of Sanity... Don't let it slip...

They will hate me, i am cursed... Psychopath, with no other path... no other choice...

[Whispering the last line.]

Than... To... Pretend.
