I know that you, you pretend to be so tainted
Look at your face just an empty space of grey
Your mask is old, the graffiti blurs your features
Life’s a box that you labelled POA
Hold your words don’t try to simulate
you know that I’ve seen you stripped to your soul
You can’t hide that second’s hesitation
though you make out you’re so in control
Chorus
Behind the whitewash
Behind the lies
I’ve seen through your little masquerade
All in your eyes
You lost your way since the day you stopped believing
Put back your trust in the universe
Instead you’re just drifting, wasting, dissipating
You don’t make the grade, it’s time you paid attention
I see you turning, you’re burning, you’re learning
that life isn’t always unkind
Get what you’re making, no faking, no breaking
You know it’ll all be just fine
Chorus
Behind the whitewash
Behind the lies
I’ve seen through your little masquerade
All in your eyes
Don’t leave it till it’s too late
Strip down exposing your soul
