about

This whole album is about the effects of masking for long periods of time.
"Masking" is a term in psychology used to describe an individual that presents a false personality or suppresses their natural behaviors in an attempt to assimilate in social groups and/or protect their safety.

lyrics

Go to Paris just to be with you
But I don't know french, don't know what to do.
So I hang my head and walk away.
Bang my head and I wanna stay
Here in Paris, don't know what to do
'Cause I can't speak french and I can't speak you
But, I'm trying every single day
to learn to fake my pain away.

So, I'll change my name to Marie
and I'll quit saying sorry for what I want.
I'll change my name to Louise,
and I'll quit saying please for what I don't.

I'm embarrassed, don't know what to do
'Cause I don't know french and I don't know you
But, I'm learning every single day,
your rhetoric and what to say.
I'm embarrassed, don't know what to do.
Say they can't take cash when they don't want you
But, I'm trying every single day
to learn to fake my pain away.
