Masks don't last forever.

lyrics

This disguise just won't work no more
I lost the "why"s I was hunting for

It was a slow, slow, painful death
I had to redirect all my energy down to heck
They didn't want me in Heaven or Purgatory

It was a slow, slow, painful death
I told the truth, whatever it wrecked
A Crack dissolved my dirty origin story

This disguise just won't work no more
I lost the "why"s I was hunting for

Twas the night before Christmas and everyone died
At least it felt that way on my insides
I lay alone in a tobacco-stained apartment

Twelve years later I'm on a different ride
I've got God and Satan by my side
Presents wrapped and all my Christmas cards sent

This disguise just won't work no more
I lost the "why"s I was hunting for

At the very same time I pull my wisdom teeth
Your wise, wise words finally impact me
I put all my eggs in one basket

They crack and dissolve in the acid rain
The party line states, "stay in your lane"
And you don't have to ask where my mask went

This disguise just won't work no more
I lost the "why"s I was hunting for
