I painted this smile Do you feel who I am Does it masquerade the ugly Showing what's good and not bad I adorn this gown Made of satin and lace Hiding from the world Just taking up space Behind this mask You cannot see my eyes They give light to what's dark I would no longer have a disguise They would show you pain The type I could never share Allowing vulnerability to blossom Life is not fair I remain silent My words always reveal so much The pain would surface Showing how regret is a crutch To share deep within Always a risk Allowing all flaws to peak out How I cannot be fixed I will keep this mask I can't have you lost in my eyes You would crawl in my skin I'd have to confide Here I am safe I am surrounded by walls In control of what is seen As I crumble to fall

Masquerade From Within
I painted this smile Do you feel who I am Does it masquerade the ugly Showing what's good and not bad I adorn this gown Made of satin and lace Hiding from the world Just taking up space Behind this mask You cannot see my eyes They give light to what's dark I would no longer have a disguise They would show you pain The type I could never share Allowing vulnerability to blossom Life is not fair I remain silent My words always reveal so much The pain would surface Showing how regret is a crutch To share deep within Always a risk Allowing all flaws to peak out How I cannot be fixed I will keep this mask I can't have you lost in my eyes You would crawl in my skin I'd have to confide Here I am safe I am surrounded by walls In control of what is seen As I crumble to fall
