The Faces

I see the faces I see them all Even through the lies and fake laughs I see the faces Through their hoods and headphones I see the faces Even through the violence the mask brings I see the faces They weep, They sob, and They cry They yell, They shout, and they scream "Shut up!" They say "Leave me alone!" They yell But... I see the faces I see the fear in their faces They panic without the mask The anxiety of being different The fear of being a freak The embarrassment of not being normal But... I see what the faces COULD be They could smile They could laugh They. could wipe away their tears They could be loud and proud They could be unafraid They could be DIFFERENT
