The Mask
here i am hiding again
behind this mask that i live in
but its just a display
so that people wont ask
whats the matter or
why you look so sad
theres so many answers
to that one little question
if only these people was inside my head
then they would know why i want to be dead
not because life has gotten to rough
or because the people are getting to tough
its because i dont know what else to do
and id rather die then sit around looking like a fool
oh but thats the side i have to hide
sheld away and pretend to have some pride
even though life is killing me with every stride
so i place on that mask everyday
until i get home and i sit and cry
only wishing some how i could just die
but i cant show this side of me
because they would want to lock me away
and throw away the key
so instead i wear this mask
to hide all the things i feel inside
