James - Mask Lyrics
We all get born into chain gangs
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get taught to sit upright
Believe a word to which we're told
Couldn't mock them
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain
I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire
I know I was wrong
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control
Made a bonfire of the crimes
I convicted
You got blistered, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout
I been small
You're gigantic
Oh, so cool
Lovesick romantic
You're the one who speaks in tongues
Of sorcerers and sages
I have only just begun
To understand love's dangers
I'm the one who understands
The gifts of fallen angels
I'm the one who hurt you
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
You're catching me
Falling backwards
You're catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards

James Mask Comments
3 dislikes ...seriously !! still my fav from the album ..pure utter class from James <3
Such a truthful song. It was really hard to listen to it. It reveals a part of many of our stories, at least it reveals a part of me that I didn't want to see. That's why I love you James!
This is my favourite from this album - it's brill!
"Mask"
We all get born into chain gangs
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get told to sit uptight
Believe a word of which we are told
Took a nail file to my chains
Cut em open
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain
I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control
Made a bonfire of the crimes
I'm convicted
You got blistered, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout
I been small
You're gigantic
Oh, so cool
Lovesick romantic
You're the one who speaks in tongues
Of sorcerers and saviours
I have only just begun
To understand love's dangers
I'm the one who understands
The gifts of fallen angels
I'm the one who hurt you
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
You're a fool to think strong
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole
You're catching me
Falling backwards
You're catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Loving this.
Colin Ayers same, got it playing nice and loud just now :-)
Tune. Great album
Can somebody tell me, what is he telling in the chorus? Thank you
Jacob James the lyrics are available in the CD booklet
Craig Cullen Unfortunately I'm from Mexico and the album hasn't arrived to my country yet, if you already have it I would appreciate very much if you send me the letter of this song or write it here in the comments. Thank you
I know I was wrong... are you so sure that you're right... You're a fool to think strong... is to win every fight.
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right
Your unfaltering charm
Is to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Can you cut me off some slack
Or put the knife in my back
Get me out of the hole
Get me out of the hole
My early favourite
As good as ever and then a wee bit more.
