The Masquerade of Shadows
Why do you mask yourself in the darkness?
And dance in a masquerade of shadows?
When you know well dark shades can not cloud my vision
Why then would you make such a decision?
I see what you attempt to elude
I see what you foolishly believe shadows will seclude
Light is but a luxury
For one who can see, for one like me
Why do you mask yourself in darkness?
And dance in a masquerade of shadows?
Continue should shadows trully grant relief
However little can be done to obscure your grief
From one who sees through trivial cloaks
Such as your beloved darkness, which is but a hoax
Continue your seclusive masquerade
The passing of time is with me, and the darkness will fade
Why do you mask yourself in darkness?
And dance in a masquerade of shadows?
Why hide, cower, and remain in your dark gown?
Why let your secret slowly break you down?
Soon your shadows will fail
As the sun shall rise, and light will prevail
Do not shroud your anguish in this darkness and opression
Because ones with vision such as me still see such depression
Why do you mask yourself in darkness?
And dance in a masquerade of shadows?
