Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,354Please respect copyright.PENANAXKHUlW0WEQ
painted smiles in borrowed light.354Please respect copyright.PENANAsu5yj0du6b
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,354Please respect copyright.PENANAv1mZBDUihT
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,354Please respect copyright.PENANA6h97cCAV4d
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.354Please respect copyright.PENANARTRWO9aZI0
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,354Please respect copyright.PENANA9hy26sSMpF
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see354Please respect copyright.PENANAVNoMnmK2Gp
the war that rages inside me.354Please respect copyright.PENANAXJvGB72ONI
Yet in the dark, when I am still,354Please respect copyright.PENANABSVtBSH2gM
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,354Please respect copyright.PENANADsCYH7ww0Q
they whisper truths beneath the stars.354Please respect copyright.PENANAdNGnol00OL
And though the world may never ask,354Please respect copyright.PENANAmR4RfI6CNm
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
