I wear my armor, day and night
Afraid you'll see beneath the light
A soul that’s broken, a heart torn wide

Hiding the pieces I can’t revive
I trace the lines you’ll never see
Wounds that run too deep in me
Now would you stay, or would you leave?
If I showed the skin I live within

Beneath the mask, I'm fading slow
Drowning in truths I’ll never know

I'm afraid to undress, that you won't love me after
The scars are too deep, to be saved from disaster
The marks on my skin, they tell a story of pain
I'm afraid to undress, would you love me then?

Each scar a memory, I can’t erase
A canvas painted with my disgrace
Do you see beauty, or do you see shame?
Would you turn away, or call my name?

The walls I've built are caving in
Afraid of the silence that lies within
Would you hold me close if I revealed
The fragile heart that I’ve concealed?

Beneath the mask, I’ve lost control
Drowning in shadows, body and soul
I'm afraid to undress, that you won't love me after
The scars are too deep, to be saved from disaster
The marks on my skin, they tell a story of pain
I'm afraid to undress, would you love me then?

Will you see past the surface?
Or will you turn away?
Can you love what's beneath this fragile display?
My body tells a tale, I cannot rewrite
Would you stay with me, through this endless night?

I'm afraid to undress, that you won't love me after
The scars are too deep, to be saved from disaster
The marks on my skin, they tell a story of pain
I'm afraid to undress, would you love me then?

I'm afraid to undress, afraid to be free
But will you still love what’s broken in me?
Can you find me, trapped in this host?
A fading memory
A whisper of me, this troubled ghost
