As the mic starts to whisper
And the words start to blister in my mouth
That I know aren't right

I gotta get back to who I was before my last ten years on auto-pilot
It's the mask that quite often starts to eat into your face
So wear it lightly like a hat that can quickly be replaced
I gotta get back to who I was before my last ten years on auto-pilot

So tell me again how my life should have been 
Before I was spineless, before I gave in
Because everybody thinks it's timeless
Well [bad word] out
One thing I'll never regret is I never shed my face
