The Real Me

Behind the smile
I feel the shame
Every time you look at me
A piece of me dies inside

This mask I wear
Hiding the truth
How can I go on like this?
I’m slipping away

My heart it bleeds
This is not who I am
My heart it bleeds
This is not me, no

Time and again
I’ve been hiding the pain
And all these lies I’ve been telling you all this time (The chosen path)
Time and again
I regret the chosen path
And all the lies I’ve been telling myself all this time

Solo: Suomela
Solo: Saastamoinen

Behind the smile
Hiding the man
The man that I should’ve always been
I’m struggling through my own hell

This mask I wear
Finally falling off
I’m no longer living this hell
I taste the salt on your lips

Solo: Nieminen

Time and again
I’ve been hiding the pain
And all these lies I’ve been telling you all this time (The chosen path)
Time and again
I regret the chosen path
And all the lies I’ve been telling myself all this time
Can’t you see this is the real me
