Story Behind The Song
Frustration at how one can never be one's self in front of others. Always hiding behind masks do we truly know who we are? Or do we feel safe within the boundries of our own disguise?

Lyrics
Hey It?s Life
Don?t you think its round a bout time we stopped and forgot then lost the world today?
The ride it promises fun but in truth we forgot why we even came down today again.
Paint me black then paint me white
The colours they fade away
Paint me black then paint me white
The colours they turn to grey
Hey it?s life!
I?ve tried to shed my disguise
I can never be myself
Hey it?s life!
Goodbye to all those petty lies
I can never be myself!
You?re a paintbrush, the colour in my life, but my world is so empty and awash with tears
I feel the winds of love on my cheek but no one to share that familiar winter?s breeze
I put on a mask and then I feel alright
I face the world cos I feel safe inside.
