A mask so well crafted it fools the fool
Just as the ocean form covers the waves.
Hiding the Terrors with a beautiful white glaze ,
As though God spent so much time and effort
To create mask that fools God Himself in his holy domain.
He too wears, a mask of a fool only to keep humanity sane

Never once had I doubted 
And Never once had I stopped to think
That the kindness you displayed in my presence
Lives right under the Foamy ocean waves.
Within my reach to pull of your mask,
I held my own hand , played along with your deathly charade

The pain you had fed me, I swallowed it whole
Forcing it down my throat as I cried -
Choking on your lies and hypocrisy,
Smiling in a pool of my tears,
Yet I still laugh alongside your games

Sitting at the foot of your mercy
And yet you continued all mighty
Marching forward on your death parade
Sweetly singing me a ghostly serenade
To live in your lie, I grant my own embrace

To your nature I blind my own eyes
Your existence rising from my belief
Let me listen to your siren
As you are the foam coating the waves
And I stare into your mask again
A true jester you are, so unsightly

A pity clown dancing in the city
An applauding audience , well performed
And I say bless you fool, to all it is unknown
For you savor the mask worn only by yourself
And let the world dance in your palms
While I give you a sitting ovation
I laugh, my mind slipping on who I am
As by far I am a mere guest in your front row
Wanting to be part of your mascarade

— The End —
