I switch from mask to mask
A tailored face to match every occasion
Whether it be joyful or sorrowful,
Festive or morose
I have an expression for it
Act happy, smile, just go along with it
Don’t show them what you’re really feeling
They don’t wish to see my true emotions
They don’t desire to stand against the truth
They don’t want to see how my disguises are cracking by the day,
Bits of chalky plaster crumbling away
Reality shining through
As threads of sanity come undone
Every emotion, just a practiced mask I adorn
In the twisted masquerade called life
