Deep dark memories
It's almost impossible to hide them
Still, others seem safe
Maybe even unstoppable
Then how can it be that the only thing that people see
It's the fake mask of them

Behind those false smiles
Behind those lies
There are the distant echoes of their cries
Do not be fooled by the face they use
Because they wear a mask, thousands of masks
And none of them is themselves

Its surface may look smooth, but it's just a mask
They do not want to be hurt
Under the mask, there is confusion, fear, and loneliness
But they hide it
They do not want anyone to see them as weak but
Made of  steel

They are afraid to show people their real character
And for them to reject them
Listen carefully and try to listen
What they are not saying
What they would like to be able to say
But you can not say

You can only remove your mask
You can free them from their world of panic shadows
From their lonely dungeon
If you choose to do it
Please do it
