The Mask Doesn'T Hide Your Scars'
I can't breathe when I think of you
My heart skips a beat
One then two... I think deeply.
I mask myself
Each and every day
Hoping you won't see all of this pain that's inside of me
I know that the mirror doesn't lie
So
I often avoid
Looking myself directly in the eye
I cannot stand another bad dream
My heart was hurting
But
I didn't scream
Will I ever wake from all of this
Madness and chaos
Chasing away what could be
A life without evil
Is what I want to see. I smile.
