Why show the truth when the world’s full of lies?

Why not hide behind a smile, while everybody cries?

Why not laugh in someone’s face, while planning their demise?

Why be authentic, when everyone wears a disguise?

The truth of the matter is, no one is truthful.

Masks are the only things that are useful.

Taking the mask off is harder for the normal.

They don’t want to risk not looking moral.

But deep down we all have feelings we don’t want to show.

Ones that would put us in an asylum; lined up for a deathblow.

Mask off, mask on.

Don’t let them see what you do before dawn.

Mask on, mask off.

Bring pain like fire to a moth.

Keep the mask, don’t go outside the norm.

Keep the mask, let your emotions swarm.
