I live in a world of lies
Covered by velvet masks
The souls of people die
As they go about performing their tasks
I live in a world of fraud
With skilled actors all around
Crippled by the occasional odd
Whose masks hang unbound
I see peoples’ ceramic shells
Stained by daily sin
Underneath their true soul dwells
Corrupted by the lies within
I see puppets on a stage
Performing how their masters intend
Trying to earn that wage
So they can live another day of pretend
I hope that people get enraged
At all the lies they tend
I hope they try to assuage
Their tortured souls that need to mend
I hope people can learn that hell
Is something they put themselves in
I hope that one day they can tell
That Heaven is where they’ve always been
I know that people are flawed
But their spirits are profound
They have the properties of God
They reverberate His first sound
I know that if people are wise
They will remove the masks
And see with cloudless eyes
That truth is for what the soul asks
