Sometimes when you wear the mask
For too long
It sticks to your face
From all the sweat
Pouring like the crystal waters
From the emotional pressure
It transforms to glue
But there's no struggle
No fight
Willing to accept that this life,
The one you made the mistake of living
Is now your life
You put that mask on you?
And why oh why
Did you never think to take it off?
I know you can
You always can
Don't make excuses for a second
To say you can't
But because you don't
It makes me wonder
Where's the humanity
What are you
If you don't think
About your actions
About forgiveness
About the fact that
Everything you do, isn't you
So who are you really?
Other than a facade
Of evil emotions, regrets, manipulation
Let me see who you really are
Yeah, nope, not happening
I know
We've established
But I wanna know why
But it isn't about me
It's not about my journey
Trying to find the explanation for me
This isn't interrogation
It's a warning.
Beware.
Live life like this,
You'll ruin so many lives
And you've already ruined mine.
