For quite some time, I lived behind a mask
Continually drinking from this worlds hate filled flask
No one ever saw my deepest emotions
While under it all was hellfire commotions
Thinking back, I understand why I kept it on
But I also see now I've had it on for far too long
Whilst looking in the mirrors eye
Pulling down the mask
This time I can't lie
A little boy trapped inside a mans body, broken and torn
Underneath is a face even Satan would scorn
A deep breathe in, the mask goes on for the final act
If someones out to destroy me, this would be the time to attack
Before the curtains open, I don't expect a crowd
And for the very first time
Silence has never been so loud
Standing on stage looking into the audience and into their faces
There's no going back now, just forward paces
My mask hits the floor and shatters into dust
Watching their expressions, I can feel someones heart bust
Most walk out, forgetting the time we have shared
The few climb up stage and tell me all will be repaired
Bowing my head, and saying thank you for coming
With a light sigh, I feel my emotions aren't so numbing
So now starts my true beginning and may life treat me well
Maybe there is a chance yet, that I can live outside of this hell.
Starring into the mirror for the first time in years
Watching my skin tear and shred as I notice just a single tear
I finally see the battlefield that is my living being
It does not scare me anymore because I finally understand what I am seeing
I've bled so much, I had forgotten what pain actually felt like
My eyes were open wide, but I never saw what was about to strike
Screaming for so long though I never made a sound
Apparently even my vocal cords have been bound
Fought so hard, trying my best not to fail
All just in vein, for they followed my endless blood trail
I'm all out of breathe
I can't run much more
By the time I'm found I'll already be dead on the floor
Just leave me be, left to rot
When I find the strength to fight again
I'll attack them like a blood clot
For now I'll lay and drown in my own pool
Looking back as I die,
I'm starting to realize I wasn't such a fool.
Fading breathe into an endless winter
Despise from amongst the world removed like a splinter
Forth with haste, no battle left to fight
Sleep now my children into eternal night
Wrongs and rights, no more exist
Sleep now my son with a hand, instead of a fist
The only true victor of the battle
So truly sad to see you cut down like cattle
Forever strength is within us all
All in honor of this boys tragic fall.
Leave me out in the cold to die
I do promise you this, I will not ask why
Withered and beaten I do surely ache
But be aware young one, there is no soul here to break
Empty and forgotten I will dream of greener day
But that cannot happen until I make that cunt pay
Twas three years ago now that I became a hollow shell
Forever condemned into my ever burning hell
I must admit I've learned much since my beginning stay
Also acknowledging that for me, there is no other way
My numbness setting in, I can no longer feel the pain
Could it be possible now, that there may be something new to gain
The hourglass can speak no lies and foretells all
The knives also speak that I will make her blood fall
I then awake from my dream and find myself strapped down once more
To the moonlight above I swore
In time I would make you pay, you disgusting gilded whore
