G. Edward McBride - I Wear A Mask

from Round 7, Week 8 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

/

about

This song is about gambling with depression and not seeking treatment. It can destroy a person if not treated and lead one down a dark path. I tipped the hat to BJM a bit on this. It has a drone, it is drenched in reverb, just like I like it!!!

lyrics

Everyday I handle it
Even though I feel like shit
I'm sinking in a dismal empty hole
I wear the smile on the outside
But I'm dying on the inside
What you see is not
What I am

Life's a gamble, I'm in shambles
Little boy lost, can't you see

They all think that they know me
But I'm hiding like a jail escapee
I wear this mask to blind the inner soul
People say that they envy me
But I'm drowning in melancholy
I play this game to flee from agony

Life's a gamble, I'm in shambles
Little boy lost, can't you see

Mother mother are you out there
Can I come home
Father father, can you meet us there
I can't do this on my own
