The Rival

I'm The Mask, I try to disguise and hide my weaknesses
That's probably what my biggest weakness is; if you were to take a peek at this
You'd see a life full of nights marked by sleeplessness
Staring into the deep abyss of darkness, that's what bleakness is
Even in broad daylight, you still got that look on your face like
Your heart's empty, your soul's empty - whatever it is, it looks like something ain't right
So the pane of the windows to your soul, we can call it window pain right?
Coz the glass is broken now, almost everything is exposed in plain sight

And that's something that I've gotta live with
I try to act like nothing's up, forget about it, go on about my business
I disguise it, I'm The Mask, so you never get a chance to witness
World War 3, no exaggeration, that's exactly what this is
Coz you heart and your mind, they tell you something different
Your heart says, "Get this." Your mind says, "Quit this."
So you're both the villain and the victim
And you can't fix this, you gotta accept the fact that you're half twisted
A constant reminder that this is life, isn't it?
