The Mask

Trilogy 1) Alice and Vincent 2) The Mask The one in black Dapper, sinister with a sharpened string harp Melodies to defeat the bravest of souls Can’t go back Slithering down the rabbit hole Out of control You would never know Tossing smiles Knifes slice up pink hearts Stay away, stay away Stay away from me Stay away From the stranger Avoid the danger The dandelions always come back The bourbon flows behind the mask Let the rabbit crawl Out of the hole Look in his eyes You will see no soul My eyes are filled with empty gods Given up on all you lot Let the devil have his way Let the darkness make me sway Haven’t got a bullet to end it all I just know I have been the fool The lost one behind the mask I am not up to the final task Weep on the floor Sweep me away In my three piece suit You have no idea The demons who play Screams and laughter Screams and pain Musical insolence Piano keys dance in my head I don’t want you to leave me I don’t want you to know me Go away I am the one in the mask Softy they cry out my name Ste.......phen Ste.......phen
