I wear a mask tonight
So that no one can gaze at my windows
I have been sad for almost half of my life
And yet the gift of bitterness is what I receive
From you...

Let me wear this mask tonight
And just look at my smile
Which brings sunshine in your eyes

At least for tonight...

feed me poison,
watch me die,
savour while I struggle.

stab me with knives,
hear me cry,
make my screams your favourite song.

cut me up,
bleed me dry,
swim in my tears.

let me go through hell,
in beds of fire, lie
make castles of my ashes.

leave me behind,
and say goodbye,
carry with you a piece of me.

but please.. don't say you love me
only to lie.
