Masquerade

Cover up, cover up
Your pain with a grin
Lie with a laugh
Each smile is a sin

Mask your sweet sorrow
Hide all of your might
Repress your emotions
Burn out your light

The coal is your sadness
And fuel to your hate
The stress builds each day
Sealing your fate

Alone they all say
Alone to the end
Cover up, cover up
Cover up to defend

You want to find help
But how can that be
When you don't show yourself
Not even to me

To finally be free
Take Off Your Mask
You'll open your eyes
And live at long last
