Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,259Please respect copyright.PENANAlppsXQtqG9
painted smiles in borrowed light.259Please respect copyright.PENANAtPg898JnL5
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,259Please respect copyright.PENANAmNGBy1J3Qt
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,259Please respect copyright.PENANAns3KaEE0N2
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.259Please respect copyright.PENANASlN0AK8VLW
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,259Please respect copyright.PENANAeSitCBfbUh
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see259Please respect copyright.PENANArIdwgoMsCD
the war that rages inside me.259Please respect copyright.PENANA03f0qpU0qa
Yet in the dark, when I am still,259Please respect copyright.PENANArJJ90Tlwl2
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,259Please respect copyright.PENANAvpK4ZVYW0J
they whisper truths beneath the stars.259Please respect copyright.PENANAqeUdQ1fRvP
And though the world may never ask,259Please respect copyright.PENANAazK83Z6Fqj
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
