Mask

Location

all of these walls surrounding me 

my mask is on, yet still everyone is clowning me

i cant take it anymore its time they stop doubting me 

these crazy thought across my mind letting all these sounds be free 

i cant see straight anymore 

my mask is on but i'm still cold to the core 

the world has made me a useless muscle 

i choose to stay hidden, because i'm so sure i'm just another piece to this worlds puzzle 

eyes closed, hands tied, mouth muzzled 

i cant speak clean because society is so lustful 

i've decide to put these feelings behind me 

put my nose to the grindstone and start grinding 

the true me is unleashed and i'm tearing out of my bindings 

this is the real me the true me with no silver linings

those who are hidden... just like me? 

take your masks off and you just might see 

that the world is changing who you want to be.
