perry maysun - mask lyrics

[verse 1]
just take it off, jim carrey style
i have been aware for miles, i have been aware for miles
rubber skin, burning and rubbin’, done broke the shoe lace
who faced two names and two graves ’cause there was two shapes
i did that sh+t, but not a slit on my wrist
i cut the back of my knees, and was just the average kid
with plays blastin’ in my ears, the whole cast was a b+tch
within my head, shows over, bow, pack it, and dip

[bridge]
i don’t know who i am anymore
but it’s part of the journey
i want you to love me
all that i ever wanted is for you to love me (unconditionally)

[chorus]
if you fall then you might drown, drown, drown, drown
be honest with you, no+one’s around
just take off your mask
you’ll be thankful to your past
you’ll be thankful to your past
just take off that mask
[verse 2]
copin’ mechanisms, copin’ mechanisms
wrote this sh+t when i was down as f+ck and trapped inside a prism
but, i’m a falcon, they say birds fly in the sun, explode
twenty now, remember i was seven readin’ frog and toad
lost a hold of identity within the bottle here
other motherf+ckers cuttin’ corners tryna coddle xans
sayin’ “ayo, do you want another troublemakin’ pilly in that god forsaken room that’s not in mother nature?”
other vapors, cigarettes and breathlessness, we overdosin’
almost met the quota, but you punched him and he stopped convulsin’
realizin’ everything is copin’ mech’, from self harm to drugs and less
i jumped but i don’t really wanna break my neck

[instrumental bridge]

[outro]
hey, long time, no see
i— i see you’re still alive
that’s a good thing, right?
you know, like, when we first talked, i—
i decided not jump
so much happened since then and
i see you have these bags under you’re eyes and you look tired, you—
you look sad, but you’re still here though, i think that’s an accomplishment in it’s own way
it’s just like—
what did that one person tell me?
hold on, oh i remember
it was “holding on takes more strength than letting go”
and i know that’s kinda backwards ’cause i’ve heard it the other way around before
but, in this situation, they were probably right
this— the point of all this— the album, the music
it’s not to make anyone feel bad, to make them sad
the point of all this has been to— to just feel, you know?
i don’t— i don’t wanna make anyone feel uncomfortable, or make them feel bad for me
the point is that i know there’s someone out there just like me
that has a bunch of sh+t going on in their head
they probably though about trying to do the same thing i tried to do
it’s okay
it shouldn’t make them feel like less of a person for that
and i don’t know
the point of all this is, i guess
no matter how hard it gets, just live
and you’re probably gonna want to die again, yeah, for sure
but just keep living ’cause those little moments of joy
when you’re just painting or loving someone, or breathing, or watching the sun set, or sh+t like that
just makes you think, y’know?
going to the movies and sh+t like that
because the same place you tried to end your life could be the same place where you find your solace
so, thanks for being here, and everything
if you listened this far, i’m sure you relate to some degree, y’know
and all i can say is— all i’ve been doin’, y’know, just keep goin’
and, y’know, the same movie theater you tried to jump off of and k!ll yourself on top of could be the same movie theater you go to to find your peace, happiness, and solace
y’know what i mean?
figuratively speaking, obviously
not everyone’s gonna go the movies, but you know what i mean
i don’t know, but yeah
