Mask
© Written by Volker Heigelmann

Just another day with the same disguise
You notice it when you walk through the door
You could just see it fester in their eyes, all the dirty lies
If you can get them lookin' up ,lookin' up from the floor
Because then they'd have to explain while you despise
Those empty praise and promises that you'd finally hope for.

Take off the mask, we really want to see
The eyes of deception
Is that you lyin', lyin' to me
At the end of the day,
When we walk through those doors
The game is all theirs
Not ours, we don't play

Nothin' ever changes, that's for sure
Just the days, months and all those years
They just keep talkin' , you and them just endure
While you laugh away, nothing is as it appears
Just another day, you won't buy into that crap
Take the mask off we won't fall into the trap.

Take off the mask, we really want to see
The eyes of deception
Is that you lyin', lyin' to me
At the end of the day,
When we walk through those doors
The game is all theirs
Not ours, we don't play

Can't see your eyes
Can't feel your grip

Take off the mask, we really want to see
The eyes of deception
Is that you lyin', lyin' to me
At the end of the day,
When we walk through those doors
The game is all theirs
Not ours, we don't play

This is another version of the track that is featured live on this site called Mask (lLve Version). Matter of Back the Texas Backstreet Version is the original song which was recorded a coyuple of years back and is the first blues collaboration for Texas Jake Lee and myself. A little remastering and i decided to post it.
