Before I even learned to play a note, I was on stage Mastering the art of selling myself at a young age Fear and insecurity drove me like a Maserati High school was like showing up at a costume party I was a comedian, an athlete, a golden boy, a black sheep Whatever I had to be to make the world throw candy at me And college was the same act, different play It was October 31st every day And the real world was an all too familiar street Another trick, another treat Then I knocked, knocked, knocked on your door Every mask I ever wore Shattered like glass on the floor And it was like Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace Hell, I don't know why I'm like this But what would it change if I knew? Maybe my parents messed up But hey, they're just dressed up kids too Baby, I guess what I'm trying to say is I love you For being somebody I'm not ashamed To introduce my skeletons to I still put on my Superman cape and hide in it But when I'm with you it comes untied for a minute Hits the ground in the shadow of your skin For the first time I was comfortable in mine When I knocked, knocked, knocked on your door Every mask I ever wore Shattered like glass on the floor And it was like Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace When I knocked, knocked, knocked on your door Every mask I ever wore Shattered like glass on the floor When I knocked, knocked, knocked on your door Every mask I ever wore Shattered like glass on the floor And it was like Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace When I knocked, knocked, knocked on your door Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace Halloween ended To all the people I pretended to be Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
