These days and for a long time
it's been halloween just about three-sixty-five
With the right lies, Jekyll wouldn't need Hyde
They'll let you get away with murder
if you're the right kind.
How long does it take to bury inside
surely this isn't you
when you're alone in your room
because I gotta be honest
I really can't tell that lie
If i had to fight that hard
I would have died
I can't live that lie
Don't even know how but
I wouldn't want to live
just to be liked
by people
I don't even respect
If I can't be real
I like me and if I couldn't say how I feel
I think I would rather kill
the part of myself that wants that approval
I'm not made for appraisal
I just want to be faithful
to who God made me to be
If they like the mask
I will just toss it to the world
they can talk to plastic
