Mask - Dream

(Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat)

(Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy)

I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time

Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind

And when they ask me how I'm doing, I say, "I'm just fine"

And when they ask me how I'm doing, I say, "I'm just fine"

But the fact is

I can never get off of my mattress

And all that they can ask is

"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)

That's what the mask is

That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm tryin', you won't see me cryin'

I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

And it just keeps on pilin', it's so terrifying

But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

I've been carin' too much for so long

Been comparin' myself for so long

Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real

So long, it's real, so long, it's real

Always bein' judged by a bunch of strange faces

Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages

But I've been places

So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish

Yeah, I'm okay, bitch

But the fact is

I need help, I'm failin' all my classes

They think that I need glasses

I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)

That's what the mask is

That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm tryin', you won't see me cryin'

I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

And it just keeps on pilin', it's so terrifying

But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)

I've been carin' too much for so long

Been comparin' myself for so long

Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real

So long, it's real, so long, it's real

So long, it's real

So long, it's real
