VantyX - I Am The Mask | Cinematic Gothic Metal (Official Music Video)

VantyX - I Am The Mask | Gothic Metal / Female Vocals (Official Music Video) “The mask is melting into the bone… the monster I built is taking the throne.” “I Am The Mask” is an original cinematic gothic metal song by VantyX about emotional repression, false identities, and the terrifying moment a protective persona becomes impossible to remove. Driven by haunting female vocals, heavy distorted guitars, dark atmospheric production, and an explosive chorus, the song follows someone who created a cold, fearless mask to survive—only to discover that the human underneath has slowly disappeared. I Am The Mask // Official Lyrics I built a face out of iron and clay To hide in the dark and survive in the day I painted a smile, I painted it wide To cover the panic and terror inside I wore it to battle, I wore it to war I locked all my feelings behind a steel door I played a character, cold and detached But I didn't know that the monster had hatched I go to the mirror I pull at the seam I want to wake up From this terrible dream The mask is melting into the bone! The monster I built is taking the throne! I try to peel it, but I only bleed! I am the demon I used to feed! There is no human left underneath! Just empty eyes and a mouth full of teeth! I thought it was armor, I thought it was fake A temporary shield for my own safety's sake But day after day, and year after year The lie became truth and the human disappeared I wanted to cry but the metal is dry I look at my hands and I don't know why The person I was is completely erased I am a prisoner trapped in this face I go to the mirror I pull at the seam I want to wake up From this terrible dream The mask is melting into the bone! The monster I built is taking the throne! I try to peel it, but I only bleed! I am the demon I used to feed! There is no human left underneath! Just empty eyes and a mouth full of teeth! I claw at the skin! I tear at the face! But nothing is there! Just an empty space! I am the mask! I am the mask! The mask is melting into the bone! The monster I built is taking the throne! I try to peel it, but I only bleed! I am the demon I used to feed! No going back. The human is dead. I smile. But I don't feel it. ℗ & © 2026 VantyX Records. All rights reserved.
