Lyrics
You see a mask from your window at night
You observe a disguise from your window during the night
So you wake and you go outside
Upon seeing it, you awaken and step outside
And you put it on
You wear the mask
And they treat you in a different way
Others treat you differently after you've worn the mask
But you can't understand what they say
You cannot comprehend what they say
After you've put it on
After putting on the mask
So a change is never an end
A change is not a conclusion
Cause this is happening all over again
This recurring experience is happening again
And it's been days since I left
Days have passed since departure
On this ship of promises
On a vessel of commitments
Another day, another denial
Each day brings another refusal or rejection
Every longing's up on trial
Every desire is subjected to scrutiny
So you learn to put it on
You learn to wear the mask
As the captain calls everyone in
The captain summons everyone to the dance hall
To the dance hall and the night begins
The night commences, and you must wear the mask
You have to put it on
All these visions of a welcoming party, pretty party
All the anticipated joyful gatherings have vanished
Have been lost, cause it's the same since I left
Because it remains the same since departure
On this ship of promises
On this vessel of commitments
All the churches I remember well
All the churches remembered involve a routine
Clocking in and out to the sound of the bell
Marking time with the bell's sound
We just put it on
You conform by wearing the mask
It takes you in, it scrubs you clean, it sanitizes every dream
The system assimilates, cleanses, and purifies every aspiration
And you put it on
You wear the mask
You just put it on
You simply wear the mask
But I'll meet you in between
I will meet you halfway between my words and intentions
What I say and what I mean
We will create our own chaos
And we will make our own mess
On this vessel of commitments
On this ship of promises
Because it remains the same since we left
Cause it's the same since we left
On this vessel of commitments
On this ship of promises
We just could not care less
We simply do not care anymore
On this ship of promises
On this vessel of commitments
Don't look back
Do not dwell on the past
