This Is Halloween

Today we can live like jack and sally Halo of bones as we fly the cemetery Smoke inhaled exhaled as petal ghost Wilt and dissipate its what we do most Listen as the kids scream "This is Halloween" But does anyone care A different mask then what you always wear A different costume than you pretend to be Nothing but a reflection of hopes and dreams Flitter from orange to black And just led it fade Fade to black so I cant see What mask I fit on today Will i be the hero Someone i want to see in the mirror Or will i be the villain Selling coke aiming for killing Why is the hardest mask to put on I said why is the hardest mask to put on our own face The one your mother sees Shouldn't it be easy to place But we're just scared people Scared of each other Scared of ourselves Is this all were meant to be The faceless face trying to give a voice to the voiceless Or can we transcend the eulogy Angel wings our humble apology Showing we have more soul to give More soul to give Another shot of liquid courage As we sing the new song of our age The killswitch is not engaged We are no lamb of god We are god When you put your mask on When you wear someone else's face Let me show you Let me bring out the real you
