Know I am not who you perceive If I told you the truth you would surely leave I hold back in hopes that you’ll ask That maybe you’ll unmask The real and abnormal me That maybe you will see Instead of abandoning And damaging Know I am not who you perceive I’m not trying to deceive I’m hoping that maybe you'll shoulder This dark, heavy boulder But you only show me fury And now you are my last and final jury I look you in the eye And with my last breath say goodbye

My Mask
Know I am not who you perceive If I told you the truth you would surely leave I hold back in hopes that you’ll ask That maybe you’ll unmask The real and abnormal me That maybe you will see Instead of abandoning And damaging Know I am not who you perceive I’m not trying to deceive I’m hoping that maybe you'll shoulder This dark, heavy boulder But you only show me fury And now you are my last and final jury I look you in the eye And with my last breath say goodbye
I don't think people realize how much I want them to see the real me but at the same time how terrified I am of their reaction
