It's a new day and I'm supposed to smile.
Put on the face,
Keep up the pace.
Go ahead, love, tell me I'm pretty, stare a while.
Can't slip up.
Gotta go with what
Everyone else is telling me I have to be.
So safe here
No one can hear
The pandemonium burried inside of the real me.
No one shall see
The sadness in me,
The shattered remains of promises others made,
The ripping stabs
I have in my back.
Let the stars cry into the oceans that man has paid.
Society burns
As my soul yerns
For the freedom to run away and drown myself in
Anything I can oh,
Get my hands on.
From up here it looks so sickeningly clear, a sane hell in
Which I will be
imersed, you see.
I will run with the best of them and leave the rest of them
In my dust,
It's what I must
Do to keep up the mascerade going, to keep my score a ten
Amongst the guys
Pressures and lies
Are my best friends as I let my neurotic side go insane.
What use is it
To you? Is it
Alright if I were to break away from the mold set in my brain?


Ah, to hell with it. I'll wear the mask for another day.
Tomorrow I might change.
