Masks Let the light dissolve away Two masks that revolve all day One says leave, the other says stay One is rough and one is tame I change them daily like a shirt They transform if I'm happy or hurt They are simply masks that I wear To hide what I'm afraid might tear I try to impress you and be like him Even when that means muscular and trim So I exert myself to not spoil it I puke my guts out into the toilet See you might think I'm being rough That I'm acting all tough I'm just expressing my thoughts and times And telling them in the form of rhymes I try to be someone more for her Sometimes I might act like me But other times I'll wait and see I want to rip off this mask and be free I know that I have for her my love Yet I'm afraid that I'm below and she above I'm paranoid she would want more Not just what I have in store I'll fill myself up just like a flask Perform my pretend tasks For in my falseness I will bask And every day I'll chisel away a mask
