masked

who are you in the mask
hiding in your darkened past
do the shadows do their job
and cov'r you from this stricken mob

why must you always hide
does your pain force this smile
can't you just take of your mask
and trust me in my timeless task

because if you do...

set your sights on things unspoken
the mysteries that will haunt you
forever changing in the moment
treasure what chance you have known

make the pact your last this time
to sing a song of chance and rhyme
take a step into the sunlight
leave the mask far behind

what are you truly under the mask
a hidden soul hiding in pain
why must you hid forever behind
leave the mask far behind

so when you're cold and all alone
don't say i didn't warn your soul
remember warnings left behind
take off the mask
leave it behind
