The Mask
Heavy days come gravity wins
The weight of the air holds me down
No color for me in the world that I see
Grey upon grey upon brown
If you don't see what's broken in me
You'll think that it's something I lack
A choice that I've made a pity parade
You don't see me under attack
The Mask that I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
If I'm broken or bleed you'll see me in need
You'll understand why I am crying
But if it's all in my head you'll blame me instead
You don't think that I'm even trying
I didn't see the changes in me
The sanity starting to fray
So dark and so cold with nothing to hold
The light slowly slipping away
And the Mask that I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
In light live the shadows but how can that be
There's no light in my eyes yet they still live in me
The Mask the I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
Are why I am so hard to find
The weight of the air holds me down
No color for me in the world that I see
Grey upon grey upon brown
If you don't see what's broken in me
You'll think that it's something I lack
A choice that I've made a pity parade
You don't see me under attack
The Mask that I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
If I'm broken or bleed you'll see me in need
You'll understand why I am crying
But if it's all in my head you'll blame me instead
You don't think that I'm even trying
I didn't see the changes in me
The sanity starting to fray
So dark and so cold with nothing to hold
The light slowly slipping away
And the Mask that I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
In light live the shadows but how can that be
There's no light in my eyes yet they still live in me
The Mask the I wear is because you are there
To keep you from what you might find
It's so you can't see the empty in me
The monsters that live in my mind
Are why I am so hard to find
