The Mountain Goats - Unmasked! lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Rain beats down, down on the outer walls

Down on the skylight, where the streetlights

Shine like unquenchable coals & I’m up high, tryna say goodbye

The only way I know how, crude & graceless

Peekin' through the eye holes, seein' the real u

(Chorus)

And just after midnight

When it feels like it's gettin' late

I will reveal u, I will reveal u

(Verse 2)

Crowd's half-gone, just a few hangers ons

Come to see me finally tear thru' the stitchin' at last

And u don't care, u look almost relieved down there

Like you're free, like u can breathe now

Like they've sawn off ur cast, just 1 mo' sleeper to see thru'

(Chorus)

And by way of honorin' the things we once both held dear

I will reveal u I Will reveal u, cast of 1000s

But we were the real 2 & when I'm alone

Befo' a mirror late at night, I will reveal u, I will reveal u
