Hiding behind
A Forever changing face
Hidden within
A shifting heart
Change tearing a head apart

There’s a man under this cloak
Thru the layer unable to see
Lost doesn’t know how to be
Can’t fight his way thru destiny

And
This world starts slipping
Down time it’s tumbling
From the core this cloak is burning
This interior starts showing
Thru this void the fears sink in

A mind so busy inside
This man with no Identity
Slowly falling out of sanity
All his costumes empty

One soul searching for direction
Has let a life pass by
Stuck in the sands of confusion
This time there is no lie
No shelter in which to hide

And
This world starts slipping
Down time it’s tumbling
From the core his cloak is burning
This interior starts showing
Thru this void the fears sink in

Vision filling into a blur
Coming from the truth
Tears flow thru the paint
Canvas bare, shows its scars
This armor was false
Just a show for the strong

Defenseless wondering the emptiness
With no shell it all floods in
Swept away, into this unknown

This world starts slipping
Down time it’s tumbling
From the core his cloak is burning
This interior starts showing
Thru this void the fears sink in
