my mask

of course im fine

why do you ask?

oh don't mind this

its just my mask

it hides the grief

it hides the strife

I wear this mask

to escape the knife

don't forget this

my pain is real

im not lying

this is how I feel

you sit there saying

it cant be true

it is for me

just not for you

you say my heart

must be a sight

cold as ice

and black as night

its not my heart

only my soul

but killing me

must be your goal

youre getting close,

I hope you know

you really don't have far to go

soon enough

i'll reach my end

youll have my soul

to tear and rend

but you don't know

you never ask

you never look

beyond the mask

the look on my face

is giving me away

I wonder now

what youll say

you've asked me here

youll know now

i'll take it off

i'll take a bow

I cant do it now

tell you the truth

I must keep up

my presence of youth

of course im fine

why do you ask

oh don't mind this

its just my mask
