Xcla!m - Below Lyrics

There is always something everyone has to hide
And everybody has definitely told a lie
Most of my lies are to cover up that truth
The fact what I feel inside is being uprooted
Yah I don't know why I always stitch up the mask
But every single morning I fix it up so when they ask
I never answer with real I just keep it in myself
I always hang up whenever someone offers to help
People say you can see what somebody feels from their face
Well I don't know bout you but mines always a blank space
It's a black canvas where I paint all my pictures
I draw a smile on, looks so real you can't see the stitches
My real face is a buried under mountains of pain
It's deep inside me in an unknown and unseen place
Yah even my closest friends haven't ever dared to look
Yet it seems what I need most is to open my book
Some people feel like they see me for certain
But little do they know all they see is a curtain
It covers all my real and keeps you from knowing
That my feelings are in a place so dark there's no glowing
No y'alls light doesn't ever seem to penetrate
It always seems to bounce off and leave my dark unscathed
Yah the dark is deep down inside me festering
Like rot it gets stronger the more there is dying
Yah what's under my mask I think no one will see
I fear if they do they will straight run away
Cause if rip off the mask and show the real me
I'm afraid of the reaction to the dark that they'll see
But if I did show I would find that it's not so disturbing
That it's real and people need to get out of their lying
Yah sometimes it might be disgusting the truth of what's inside
But in the end if you don't show it you are gonna be stuck always in night
Cause life sucks sometimes and you might think you don't like it
But just trust me when I say it's better when you show yourself, be honest
