Persona

Step into a world Enshrouded by the fog Of the truth you try to hide Of the truth you pass as lies Shades of your past Try to take you in the blast As they're digging out truth Make you reach out for the truth Strip away your facade of broken glass The jagged diamond center of your true persona Strip away the thick shell in which you hide Till there's nothing left for you to hide The truth within is now open wide Now come along before you're lost within the tide Crash, thunder booms And the dark clouds, they loom Overhead, they start to crack Downpour and turn the sky to black Boom, trigger pulled But the future wasn't nulled If you want to see inside Buckle up, let's take a ride Persona, to grant you the power To rise and face the day Conquer all that's in your way Hear the thunder crack As you pull the trigger back If you want to be somebody else You should learn to see yourself 'Cause do you really wanna live like that? Acting like a fly if you're just a gnat? Strip away your facade of broken glass The jagged diamond center of your true persona Strip away the thick shell in which you hide 'Cause there's so much more for you to see The only person that you need to be Is yourself and that is all that should ever be 'Cause there's no reason to live a big lie Acting like a god when you're so scared to die Strip away your facade of broken glass The jagged diamond center of your true persona Strip away the thick shell in which you hide Till there's nothing left for you to hide The truth within is now open wide Now come along before you're lost within the tide
