lyrics

Tear My Mask
By Paul Reisler & Cheryl Toth

I’m gonna tear my mask
into little bitty pieces
Burn it to ashes
Do just as I please as
Take a vacation
Lie on the beaches
Hang out with friends
I’m sick of these diseases

When this is all over
Gonna go see the world
Swim in the ocean
Create a commotion
Go over to your house
Hang out all day
Nothing will stop me
I’ll do it my way

I’m gonna be so happy
Gonna feel so free
See all my friends
Be together again
Try new things
Turn off the screen
When this is all over
I’ll feel like me

I’m gonna tear my mask
into little bitty pieces
Burn it to ashes
Do just as I please as
Take a vacation
Lie on the beaches
Hang out with friends
I’m sick of these diseases

I’m gonna tear my mask
into little bitty pieces
