The Mask of Pain
Its monday morning, pull on the mask of mourning
the perma-glue to hold it tight, the mask'll never fit just right
it stains my hands, my hair, my face
popularity is just a social race
a matching fake mind to whisper
"pretend to have confidence,
pretend to have strength"
Veins more twisted then my conscious
without a thought of being catious
I try too hard and end up lying
only left with a feeling of dying
