Clay Mask
Clay home
You absorb the blows
And you keep me safe
From what I'm too weak to show
Clay home
Your walls may crack
But I'll repair them again
For you have my back
Clay home
You constantly evolve
You must fit this disguise
That protects my resolve
Clay home
It is dark inside
But you hold me tight
Like a beach to a tide
Clay home
A voice has spoke out
"Are you okay?"
"I am fine!" I shout
Clay home
These walls are my life
But that voice still lingers
Causing waves of strife
Clay home
Can you really protect me?
I'm beginning to doubt myself
It wants to be free
Clay home
I claw at this prison
The foundations are shaking
Why has this feeling risen?
Clay home
I have mastered my craft
Of molding you into what I need
But I must walk a different path
Clay home
I'm afraid though
How long will I last without you?
Carrying this weight that I tow
Clay home
I will use my skills
To mend the cracks that I have
Though I'm overcome with chills
Clay home
This is goodbye and farewell
May I never need you again
But only time will tell
