In times of trouble and insanity
I carry mask to disguise
the pain I carry
secure behind my eyes

I can never let out again
the misery I hide
to hell with my dignity
to hell with my pride

From this day forward
and for ever more
I will mouth this mask
that will be my lore

No reaching out when I am weak
no solace will I seek

When you look for answers
When you say your prayers
all you will see is masks
and no pain that I bare
