Mask
The young girl prepares
For upcoming performance
She bows and leaves stage
She remembers sign
Of beta hanging on neck
She was never best
It was always a matter
Of others going further
Can she remember
The last time she truly said
I'm a happy girl
Life's a daydreaming nightmare
She slips on the hockey mask
Pulls out the ketchup'd chainsaw
Be bold, be braver than brave
She premieres tonight
A supporting character
All she ever was
However, she knows one thing
Tonight will be different
She will escape this
Feet drumming on pavement stones
No more mask for me
