Every Word Is a Mask

I haven't written anything for a while I really need a blues-rocker for an ep I have planned. The music is pretty much already there with it being blues/rock. Written while nervously hungover. I suppose it comes from a dark place... Enjoy. Nietzsche helped me out with those last two lines, which are, of course, reoccurring. Feedback appreciated. ______________________ Every Word Is A Mask I cannot part the sea, or even turn the tides I know you will not listen to me with my history of lies let the valleys hold my tears should the mountain prick my eyes I think it should be said, we could have stolen more modesty was never validated, not now n' ne'er before avarice, tried and tested tartuffery has no allure should Miss Andre get married? we should have taken more opinions are hideouts, ev'ry word is a mask 'does not belong to me, I disown it, insist n' I will retract take back the love that was lent salvation is under attack opinions are hideouts and every word is a mask _______________________________ Rightly.
