    Mask


    the darkness of the night holds me in an embrace,
    in the solitude of a dark room,
    in the arms of a lonely bed,
    I hold myself tight in my arms, and cry.

    with a smile spread across my face,
    in front of the world, a mask, I assume,
    in front of the mirror, i stand naked,
    looking straight into my own reflection,I cry.

    the face, that from within the mirror, looks back at me,
    is the only one who can understand,
    that sometimes I'm in pain so much.

    the eyes, that from within the mirror, stare back at me,
    are the only ones who understand,
    why sometimes I hurt so much.

    it's so easy to fool the world,
    it's so easy to put on a mask,
    it's really not that difficult of a task.

    it's so easy to put on an act,
    It's so easy to hide unshed tears behind smiling eyes
    Yet silent tears my heart does shed, as bit by bit my soul dies, burdened by the feelings it hides inside.

    it's so difficult to fool a pained soul
    the part of me that is torn into pieces
    with time, in which pain just increases


    it's so difficult to fool my broken heart
    the part of me that supports so much pain
    open wounds, salt upon which time does drain

    the darkness of the night holds me in an embrace
    in the solitude of a dark room,
    in the arms of a lonely bed
    I hold myself tight in my arms, and cry

    with a smile spread across my face
    in front of the world, a mask, I assume
    in front of the mirror, i stand naked
    looking straight into my own reflection,I cry​
