Beneath the Mask

Beneath the mask Tears fall from your eyes You think no one knows But I'm not blind I see past the thin film that is your mask I see your pain And I can't make it go away I see now That beneath the mask Lies someone broken and fragile Like me, someone whose mind never quiets, whispering Dark thoughts of suicide in your ear Telling you that there's nothing left Beneath the mask There's a mysterious person Who threatens to take away my friend So tell me, how do I save you from yourself
