Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,192Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWMDp3qxy
painted smiles in borrowed light.192Please respect copyright.PENANAFLcm0Krvsq
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,192Please respect copyright.PENANAeXAghgcbub
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,192Please respect copyright.PENANAUzIz9wJ14m
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.192Please respect copyright.PENANAKeqo6vdJBF
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,192Please respect copyright.PENANAqjS8ojxZjV
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see192Please respect copyright.PENANA7tcc989frC
the war that rages inside me.192Please respect copyright.PENANA6rzZjaopOE
Yet in the dark, when I am still,192Please respect copyright.PENANATp01XZMmKM
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,192Please respect copyright.PENANAVywpgGZpY2
they whisper truths beneath the stars.192Please respect copyright.PENANASXPCijZmAe
And though the world may never ask,192Please respect copyright.PENANAwQVRquph18
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
