Mask

Ayo Perish, this is hot, boy

I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doin', I say I'm just fine
And when they ask me how I'm doin', I say I'm just

But the fact is
(Fact is)
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
Why are you so sad kid
(Why are you so sad kid)

That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm trying
You won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling
I'm good
(Yeah I'm good)

And it just keeps on piling
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling
I'm good
(Yeah I'm good)

I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
I've been wearing a smile for so long, it's real
So long it's real, so long it's real

Always being judged by a bunch of strange faces
Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages
But I've been places
So I'm okay-ish
So I'm okay-

Yeah I'm okay bitch
But the fact is, I need help I'm failing all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really wish that I could pass this
(Wish that I could pass this)

That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is

So you can see I'm trying
You won't see me crying
I'll just keep on smiling
I'm good
(Yeah I'm good)

And it just keeps on piling
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smiling
I'm good
(Yeah I'm good)

I've been caring too much for so long
Been comparing myself for so long
I've been wearing a smile for so long it's real
So long it's real, so long it's real
