Lyrics Mask - Perry Maysun

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

Just take it off, Jim Carrey style
I have been aware for miles
I have been aware for miles
Rubber skin burning and rubbing done broke the shoelace
Who faced, two names in two graves cause they was too ashamed
I did that shit
But not a slit on my wrist
I cut the back of my knees and was just an average kid
With plays blasting in my ears the whole cast was a bitch
Within my head shows over bow pack it and dip
I don't know who I am anymore
But it's part of the journey
I want you to love me
All I ever wanted was for you to love me
Unconditionally

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

Coping mechanisms, coping mechanisms
Wrote this shit when I was down as fuck and trapped inside a prism
But, I'm a falcon they say birds fly in the sun explode
Twenty now remember I was seven reading frog and toad
Lost a hold, of identity within a bottle and
Other motherfuckers cutting corners tryna coddle xans
Saying ayo, do you want another trouble making
Pilly in that god forsaken
Room that's not in mother nature
Other vapors, cigarettes and breathlessness we overdosing
Almost met the quota but you punched him and he stopped convulsing
Realizing everything is coping mech
From self harm to drugs and less
I jumped but I don't really wanna break my neck

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

Hey, long time no see
I see you're still alive
That's a good thing right
You know, like
When we first talked I, I decided not to jump
So much happened since then
I see you have these bags under your eyes and
You look tired, you look sad but
You're still here though
I think it's an accomplishment in its own way
You know
It's 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 kind of backwards
Cause I've heard it the other way around before
But, in this situation, they were probably right
Cause the point of all this, the albums, the music
It's not to make anybody feel bad or to make them sad
The point of all of this has just been to
To feel, you know
I don't want to make anybody 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 shit going on in their head
They probably thought about doing the same thing I tried to do
And it's okay
They shouldn't feel like less of a person for that
And I don't know
The point of all of this is I guess
No matter how hard it gets
Just live
And, and you're probably gonna wanna die again
Yeah for sure
But just keep living, cause those little moments of joy
When you're just painting
Or loving somebody, or breathing
Or watching the sun set
Shit like that
It just makes you think you know
Going to the movies and shit like that
Because, the same place where 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
You know, and
All I could say is, all I've been doing
You know, just keep going
And you know,
The same movie theater you tried to
Jump off of and kill yourself on top of
Could become the same movie theater that you go to
To find your peace, happiness, and solace
You know what I mean
Figuratively speaking, obviously
Not everyone's gonna go to the movies
But you know what I mean
I don't know
But yeah
