The Mask


Living in the world where I wear the mask

Living in all lies

Not trying to see the truth in things

But instead seeing the excuse in things 

Still wearing the mask

As if I don't have another way out

Loving the lies I see and not the truth

Still wearing the mask

As if I don't see what other people see

But as if I can see the lies is right and the right is lies

I finally realized I was wearing a mask

Living in a world where lies

Become truth and truth become lies

Taking off the mask

And finally seeing the truth

In things but yet still wondering

Why I wear the mask
