Masks
So many people go through life/
Wearing masks/
To pretend they are someone/
That they are not/
I call you a masked fool/
A fake soul living in lies/
To put a mask on/
Only to take it back off/
And put on a new one/
Unable to be real with people/
Let alone themselves/
Which speaks for you/
More than words/
Living a type of fantasy/
Dodging the reality/
Sad to say it's true/
Deep down, wearing that mask/
You can never/
Be happy in life/
Unravel your masks/
Learn to be the real you/
On the inside and out/
Leave those masks off/
