Mask from Moments Pass by Cemetery Poet
This song is about the versions of ourselves we present to the world, and the quiet exhaustion that comes with maintaining them. It’s not about deception as much as protection — the ways we learn to hide just enough to get through the day. This felt like the only honest place to begin.

Lyrics
Don't look too close..
Nothing to see
Such handsome lines
Defines the cheek
Curve to eyes
A smile to speech
Chin to forehead
A fair physique
What I wear is not to hide
It's to protect you,From what's inside
I don't want to be a untruthful
A desperate coward or deceive you
Don't want to wreck good company ..
Conversation is too tiring
I want the heart that I once had
I need to breathe I need to laugh
All I am , I'll never be
All I wish, you'll never see
All and all the moments pass
Hiding here behind a mask
Once long ago I could take it off
Now I can't contemplate the thought
I'll never never be enough
I'll never never be enough
To validate your love
Don't look too close..
Nothing to see
Such loathsome lines
Defines the cheek
Tears to eyes
A frown to speech
Chin to forehead
A sad physique
Chin to forehead
A sad physique
Beneath a mask
It's only me
