ME

These masks that i bear
That make me look unweathered
When underneath the happiness
Ill be unsatisfied forever

As the tears flow
behind what i wear to make
You smile
I put on the mask of a father
So i don't seem like a child
As the responsibilities grow
My emotions shrink in size
So i piece together more masks
To cover up my lies

Like a carnival clown I'm smiling
The makeup doesn't come off
I'm a joke to those who like me
And i hide when i speak to God
Behind a mask of mad confusion
With a mask of not wanting to lie
Wearing a mask to mask my mask
And i forget how to really hide

So i seek a mask that compells me
To tell you what you want to hear
And i mask my feelings with music
So your happiness covers my fear

These words mask my intentions
To get to a point to fast
So i mask my worry of the world
Behind a face that will never last.
