Behind A Mask Lyrics - Machine Head

The grieving widow's pose, she stands with head held high 

Never to re-marry, never gonna try 

'Cause that would end the symphony of sadness that we play 

And end the songs of wanderlust that she commiserates 

So she takes another shot of crown, in hopes to ease the pain 

In hopes to ease the void inside, yet somehow it's in vain 

'Cause vanity has come along and filled her perfume vile 

And every day she dabs a little on her neck and smiles 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside 

Open your eyes, let us see

The old man sits alone staring at the screen 

And contemplates the failures, done to his family 

'Cause depression's bottles come along and filles his whiskey glass 

With every sip put to his lips, erases all the past 

So he tells another little lie and tells another tale 

In hopes to spare the family and hide his private hell 

But the more the words come out of him, like little cuts and scabs 

Tearkng at the tender hearts who gaze upon a mask 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside 

She puts her feet in well-worn shoes 

Walks toward the past 

Of the character 

Behind the mask 

Slowly climb out of your shell 

Start to believe 

Every now and then those demons 

Will come to feast 

On your flesh and bones 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Behind a mask (so we hide, so we hide) 

Open your eyes, let us see the void inside 

Open your eyes 

Let us see
