[Verse 1]
Walk into the room, lights are low and cheap
Everybody’s smiling behind their painted teeth
Silk and plastic faces, laughing at the game
I showed up naked, soul hanging like a chain
They spin me round, they whisper, they stare
Like I’m the only monster who forgot to wear

[Pre-Chorus]
The mask… the mask…

[Chorus]
I was ashamed of myself when I realized
Life is a costume party and I came with my real face
Stripped down, terrified, no disguise to hide behind
Just these eyes, just these scars, just this broken grace
Real face… real face…
God, what a lonely place

[Verse 2]
They got rubber smiles and cardboard hearts
Trading plastic secrets in the flickering dark
I tried to fit, I tried to bend and break
But the mirror keeps laughing at the fool I make
Every smile I force feels like rust on my tongue
Every laugh I fake is another nail in my lungs

[Pre-Chorus]
The mask… the mask… I never learned the dance

[Chorus]
I was ashamed of myself when I realized
Life is a costume party and I came with my real face
No velvet curtain, no painted lie
Just blood and thunder in this empty space
Real face… real face…
Burning in the glow of their masquerade

[Bridge]
(heavy breakdown, building intensity)
Tear it off! Tear it off!
But it’s already gone, it was never there
I’m the only one exposed under these blinding flares
Can you see me? Can you see me now?
Just a man, just a wound, screaming out loud

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
(louder, bigger, raw and emotional)
I was ashamed… but now I’m burning bright
Life is a costume party, I refuse to wear the lie
Let ‘em point, let ‘em laugh, let the whole world see
This real face, these real eyes, this real misery
Real face… real face…
At least it’s fucking mine

[Outro]
(slow, fading with heavy reverb)
Yeah… I came with my real face…
And I ain’t going home the same…
