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

Took an hacksaw to my chains
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
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?

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

    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!

  3. L.... T....

    "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
