I‘m always walking in a straight line
Always pretending that I am fine
Ignoring the warning and the sign
It’s a façade

Layer upon layer I make my mask
Pull it up tightly before you ask
Make it the goal of my every task
It’s a façade

Always confining, your motives divining, in fear I’m resigning
Always confining, your motives divining, in fear I’m resigning

Contriving and striving I live my lies
Hoping outsiders won’t hear my cries
I’ve got it together like that’s my prize
It’s a façade

Under the rug I have swept my fears
Hardening my heart to avoid the tears
Gets harder and harder throughout the years
It’s a facade
