about

Stormstress' debut single release, "Paint the Mask," uncovers the darkness that lies beneath the faces we wear to gain the approval of others and the pain of silently sacrificing your own identity in order to appease.

lyrics

Porcelain Doll, painted to perfection
Another stroke with every lie
Belle of the ball, she’s a welcome distraction
From the ashes of what’s left inside

Deep beneath this face I’ve made
Swings the ever turning pendulum of pain

Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch
Perfect smile always…

They say, hey pretty girl, how can you feel so scarred
When you hold everyone’s love in the palm of your hand?
This toxic world, clouds the brightest stars
And the weight of this burden has dimmed who I am

The real me drowns in misery
Wasting away in the cell my heart built for me

Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch Perfect smile always
Paint the mask
Don’t let it smear with the tears
Bury your love, your hate, your fears
Paint the mask,
Paint the mask

But I can’t be afraid, it’s never too late to be free
I’ll burn that veil and watch the pieces fall
My truth is more beautiful than a lie could ever be
So no more will I listen when they say to me

Paint the mask
Make it nice and pretty
Not a scratch
Perfect smile always
Paint the mask
Don’t let it smear with the tears
Bury your love, your hate, your fears

Paint the mask (Make it nice and pretty…)
Paint the mask (Perfect smile always…)
Paint the mask (Make it nice and pretty…)
Paint the mask
Paint the mask
