Behind The Mask
The inside is stale, rotted away
A soul, long dead, begins to decay
The mind within is close behind
Searching for something that it cannot find
I created a mask, it became a wall
Now I'm trapped behind all of its lies
Boundaries of falsehoods and half-truths
Hide the reality of what's behind my eyes
Who am I? I'm no longer sure
I believe that I've lost all that was pure
Innocent no more, I've blackened my soul
Long ago I forgot what it was like to be whole
Trust me not, I am master of deceit
This face is a charade, it is not me
Life disassembled what was once complete
And I'm no longer the person that I used to be
