The mask, as they say, is a friend of mine
Behind that mask is where I spend the most time
The mask just might be my very best friend
That mask seems to be my beginning and my end
The mask is there to keep people at bay
That mask tells everyone that I am okay
This mask I’ve worn since I was a child
Make everyone laugh, be funny, don’t dare disappoint
I am the good boy set out to change the world
That mask becomes tattered, aged and worn
Much like my spirit, tired, sullen and torn
Soon comes the time that energy I have not
To put on that mask and walk into life
I’m tired, so tired with the light ever further away
Is it time, my time, to say goodbye to today?
The mask is a friend of mine, or so they say

Make everyone laugh, be funny, don’t dare disappoint

To put on that mask and walk into life
I’m tired, so tired with the light ever further away
Is it time, my time, to say goodbye to today?
