Masks

Take a good look in the mirror
What you see, is it pure?
Is love all that you hold dear to you
Or is it hatred that you're closest to?

Those who are organized, even at all costs
Are they really just forgotten and lost?
Those who are called monsters, are they gentle within?
Maybe they neglect to wear a mask when the show begins

Those with a dark heart must wear a mask so it won't be seen
But now they are made fun of and treated mean
They find that their life has been made even worse
But they can't help it: the mask is our curse


The scars on my hands are easy to see
But the scars that are real are inside of me
Those are the scars that will tear me down
But I'll just put on a mask and act like a clown


Beware if you are pure of heart
You will be hurt: wear a mask if you're smart
You won't make it far, safely, if you have a loving soul
So be sure to put on a mask and act like a troll

Everybody in the world wears masks, much to our surprise
'Tis a shame we are too blind to see it, much to our demise
So if you feel that you're losing your mind
Just put on a mask. Now you're nice, sweet, and kind
