Somewhere buried deep below

'till every piece of who you are.

Is all but lost beneath your feet.

But I know better

And I can't let your
Bm7 G
little room be where you always stay.

You put your faith in masks you made.

Can you trust enough to peel them all away?

Everyday the same routine
Em7
of hiding what you really mean

You keep the words you wish you'd said

inside a box beneath your bed
Bm7 G
like maybe that'll make them disappear.

little room be where you always stay.
