the mask
I put my mask on every single day
You would never know that I am broken
A smile can cover all of the pain
When I feel like crying, I’ll laugh it off
My secret trick is the act of faking
The art of faking is most dangerous
Just like lying and the art of deceit
Those with the masks are the most deceitful
People who wear them will fool all of us
As long as I live I’ll fool everyone
Alone, each night I will take off my mask
Never to be exposed to anyone
My mind is a prison, with no way to
Escape, I’m shackled by my emotions
My mask is my key to my holding cell
With out it I’m trapped with only myself
No one will know this as long as I live
I’m the master of lying and faking
And I will never leave without my mask
It has become a part of who I am
I have forgotten who is underneath
My mask has become a real part of me
So as long as I live I’ll wear it proud
No one can discover who I really am
For who I am I pray no one will see
‘Cause for sure that will be the death of me
