Pull back the curtain

The one behind it has a different face

The inner workings, the gears are turning at a different pace



Time will change us all



The more that you question

The more the answers aren't what you want to hear



We fight to conceal the truth, but it's all a matter of time, of time

The years wasted, persuaded to smile when it feels so wrong inside, inside



Honesty or deception?

You can only hide it for so long

But we choose to be silent; stick to the story



We fight to conceal the truth, but it's all a matter of time, of time

The years wasted, persuaded to smile when it feels so wrong inside, inside



How can we let ourselves continue this routine?

The artificial beat of a heart that's long since ceased

[2x]



We fight to conceal the truth, but it's all a matter of time, of time

The years wasted, persuaded to smile when it feels so wrong inside, inside, inside



We fight to conceal the truth, but it's all a matter of time
