The Mask of Sanity Slips

Lyrics

The truth is I'm jealous of you
And your looks, and your talent
And your heart, and your passion
While I'm just stuck in my mind

How could my seed ever bloom
When you keep growing so tall, so tall?

The mask of sanity slips
The mask of sanity slips

The mask of sanity slips
The mask of sanity slips
The mask of sanity slips
The mask of sanity slips
The mask of sanity slips

I am not living, I'm asleep
I am not living, I'm asleep
I am not living, I'm asleep
I am not living, I'm asleep
I am not living, I'm a-
