I put my mask on every single day

You would never know that I am broken

A smile can cover all of the pain

When I feel like crying, I’ll laugh it off

My secret trick is the act of faking

The art of faking is most dangerous

Just like lying and the art of deceit

Those with the masks are the most deceitful

People who wear them will fool all of us

As long as I live I’ll fool everyone

Alone, each night I will take off my mask

Never to be exposed to anyone

My mind is a prison, with no way to

Escape, I’m shackled by my emotions

My mask is my key to my holding cell

With out it I’m trapped with only myself

No one will know this as long as I live

I’m the master of lying and faking

And I will never leave without my mask

It has become a part of who I am

I have forgotten who is underneath

My mask has become a real part of me

So as long as I live I’ll wear it proud

No one can discover who I really am

For who I am I pray no one will see

‘Cause for sure that will be the death of me
