Masked by silence
Making you think
That he wasn't the person he was
All of the ****** thoughts
That were constantly swirling in his head
Protected by a look
That could put fear
Into a bear's eyes

Masked by a personality that isn't her own
Making you think
She is something that she never was
Something that she'll never be
Fear holds her in its hands
Telling her to wear the mask
To not let anyone close enough
To see what she really is on the inside

These people met one day
They fell in love with the mask
That covered their lover
And told them that everything was fine
Over time the masks slipped
And they were found to be
Incompatible
While their hearts started to ache
To just let go
And let the person behind the mask
Follow you to places unknown
Shrouded by darkness
Where no one can see
The mask and the person wearing it
For they don't want to break another heart
By letting them see what's inside
For they were both masked
Fearing everything but the night
