Mask
take off the mask you wear
you fool everyone but me
i'm screaming to be free
i should know you just don't care
i'm pleading for a chance
fighting adolescense
searching for acceptance
but you never gave a second glance
so i took a flying leap
started my own revolution
i found it's quite an addiction
to be living on the edge
i'm finally breathing pure air making something of my life
too long i lived under your knife
i've finally forgotten despair
there is just one last thing i ask
it won't cause you pain or strife
just please, for once in your life
take off the mask.
