Johnston, Daniel - Mask Lyrics

Anyone have the lyrics?

MASK


Seems like her broken heart, the loving part, was missing
As the drama unfolds, she’s lost the art of loving
Nowhere is where she goes to find her piece of nothing
Seems like she’s had enough, but she’s always up to something


And now, as the story goes, another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes, and in disgrace, she’s laughing
It wasn’t so long ago she had me so temptated
And with no obligation I was feeling so sedated
Now I’m left pretty dumb, and every bit retarded
Now the fires that burn are more than what she started


And now, as the story goes, another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes, and in disgrace, she’s laughing
It’s just a show of shows, “is that all?”, she’s thinking
And maybe I told her so, I’m thankful that I’m living
Another day in the past and every hour I’m haunting
Everybody is wearing a mask, playing “Skip to the Lou, My Darling”


And now, as the story goes, another day is dying
She’s already changed her clothes, and in disgrace, she’s laughing
The way…
No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
More or less love, and somehow she was lying
Time after time she gave it all away without trying
Just to thank you, who arrives like a bird that is falling
No one knows the sorrow of a broken heart that’s bleeding
Seems as though she never cares for no one that’s despairing
Like rain upon an open grave

R.I.P. Daniel.

This song and several deerhunter songs have helped me greatly....🤘🏻

Hooray for metal strings on a classical guitar!

It's odd this is a "rare" song! I am not certain I don't have a little doubt in Daniel being a musical "genius", but who am I to say? I enjoy his music a lot & relate much to his struggle,
& this is in my opinion his best song!

@xxMassMurderer1235xx Sorry I misunderstood you, I agree

@AHarmlessBlackMan But, this isn't the orignial version is it? THis is the one he did on Rollins show. It's excessively easy to find. The original may be rare but, this one is not.

@xxMassMurderer1235xx well I would say since the original isnt on here it is pretty rare.

if it's on youtube it's not rare bro. i have this episode of rollins show on my dvr

one of the best!
