The ruling Mask
People don't know who i am
'cause i wear a mask
If i take it off
I'll be just a little lamb
hungering for love
I'll never receive that
i once opened my doors
Got betrayed
Lied in front of me
like i am mad
I went down several floors
Now i'm doomed to be
to leave it on
I don't trust you
i don't trust anyone
Please tell me where do i belong?
I want to put the mask down
but i can't, i'm too weak
It rules me now
If i try to break free
it bites me with it's painful beak
tells me i'm a fool
That i'm better off to leave it here
at it's place
on my face
Even though i would prefer
to get it broken
I'm not strong enough for the world outside
I'll never have a real smile
My tears will hav eto hide
So it stays on, for probably a long while
