A Mask You Hide Behind
you played your role
as an actor in a play
but the things you said
had some truth so I stayed
An empty mask
shadows behind
evil lurking
seeping into my mind...
a phantom tale
of murder and greed
oozing self pity
and you I pitied indeed
this addictive saviour
in myself I loved
as the real you scattered
in my mind you I loved
you played your role
as an actor in a play
everything we did
was so happy and gay
an empty mask
with a shadow behind
entrancing me
messing with my mind
a phantom tale
you told me well
to feel passion and fear
and fast in love I fell
Lies, untruths, deceit
these are your traits
From the beginning
I was to you easy bait
Little did I know at the time
my value and worth
until I saved myself
and now I go forth
Leaving all behind
You played your role
as an actor in a play
but today I'm tired
too tired anymore today
an empty mask
is your personality
an empty mask
holds very little stability
