lyrics

Mask

Looking through our own lens we view the world
Different yet the same whether boy or girl
You take it to heart
You take it to mind
You shape it in the image of what’s inside

You give it some thought
You give it some time and
Put your faith in what feels right

Looking for the proof to feed your side
But open the door a crack to let in light
Gotta be strong
Stay in the fight
But keep it in the interest of selfless pride

Fiction and fact
Watching your back
Like an incoming ocean tide

Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last

Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask

Wearing another face can yield rewards
Eyes are the true give away yet they’re always yours
You think maybe wrong
You think maybe right
You just keep holding tight

You look over here
You look over there (but you)
Watch with open eyes
(open eyes…it’s your life) background part*
Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last

Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask

Tell me what it means
When you feel like shattered glass
And it’s harder to believe
In a dream made to last

Like you’re living another life
While the wind is blowing fast
Good air is hard to find
But as long as I don’t
Lose myself behind the mask

Always excited to learn and hear what Alex Lifeson does next and this is a fabulous pivot. And Maiah Wynne is a poetic vocal talent, infusing her performance with complex emotion. More please! Perchance Music & Digital Media (SM)

It’s interesting to hear these songs in acoustic vs. electric. This band has been a wonderful addition to my collection. Douglas Swinford

This is everything I love about John Wesley - organic and emotional, with that indescribable (shimmering?) Wesley guitar that elevates everything he touches. A candid portrait from a man blessed with the talent to put his soul into song. Margo Leigh Tiernan
