Masks
In the shadows where I dream,
In the shadows where I scream.
Caught between sanity and the abyss
Subdued perhaps by loves first kiss
Is love an illusion or is it a dream
Things are seldom what they seem
The promise of peace.
The promise of sweet release.
Can I just get back to my center?
To find my core...
I want things the way they were before.
Lost in the sweet mask of Erotica’s grace
A nameless Shadow without a face
I want to be loved for what resides within my soul.
I want a place I can go
To be with the one I adore
Someplace distant by a shore
Simple dreams,
Ah nothing is truly as simple as it seems
Constrained by bonds not of my making
I gave my heart It was for the taking..
I have no regrets save one
Sometimes I fear things are over just before they have begun
I know no way except lock my self in a shell
Live in yet another form of hell
I try talking and am meat with ice
Here again in a prison of my device
So I put on the mask I used to wear
The happy beautiful one that seems without worry or care.
Don’t let them see it is my soul that bleeds
Don’t let them see even I need
Wear the mask things will be alright
As I cry myself to sleep at night
It is not him that causes this pain..
Just circumstance where others seek to gain
I try to be patient
Try to be true
It just seems it the past revisited again anew
Click, click goes the keys in the middle of the night
When I wish things would just be alright
I am alone in the land of the damned.
But it was my choosing ultimately to come to this land
Soft whispers in the still of night as fallen angels once again take flight
Blackened whispers as the golden ones smile with glee
Would it be better if I were on hand and knee
I feel so frustrated but I must wear the mask.
For to express my feelings
Could bring this love to its last
Ah the irony I came here to be free
Now it seems it is just another mask for me
