Intro Em C G D
Verse 1:
Em C G D
We're good because there are consequences, they say
Em C G D
But if we remove the chains, who will we truly be?
Em C G D
It's like taking off a mask, revealing what lies beneath
Em C G D
The shadows we hide, the side we always keep
Em C G D
Behind the good deeds, the carefully chosen words
Em C G D
There's a truer self that many of us conceal
Em C G D
When there's no more punishment, when there's no more fear
Em C G D
We'll be able to face who we are, without any veil
G D Em C
Masks fall off, revealing the true face
G D Em C
When there are no consequences, the hidden is revealed

We're all actors on a stage, playing roles

But when the curtains close, we show who we truly are
Verse 2:
Em C G D
Many live their lives without truly knowing themselves
Em C G D
Trapped in their own illusions, in their own act
Em C G D
But when the world crumbles, when everything falls apart
Em C G D
That's when we see the truth, without masks, without disguise
Em C G D
Consequences shape us, teach us what is right
Em C G D
But when they disappear, what stops us from going wrong?
Em C G D
That's when we must look within, to find the light
Em C G D
And accept that we're human, with virtues and also the cross
G D Em C
Masks fall off, revealing the true face
G D Em C

Bridge:
Am C G D
So don't be afraid to be who you are
Am C G D
Even if it means stripping away the faith
Am C G D
Because only when we're honest, can we grow
Am C G D
And find the peace we seek to know
G D Em C
Masks fall off, revealing the true face
G D Em C
When there are no consequences, the hidden is revealed
G D Em C
We're all actors on a stage, playing roles
G D Em C
But when the curtains close, we show who we truly are
