Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,224Please respect copyright.PENANAiY3uBF425q
painted smiles in borrowed light.224Please respect copyright.PENANAm0bjO3UfrM
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,224Please respect copyright.PENANAHHsrBmvejy
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,224Please respect copyright.PENANAgKtahu0emc
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.224Please respect copyright.PENANAa1VtrUf2fB
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,224Please respect copyright.PENANAi6A0Fqg1WU
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see224Please respect copyright.PENANAPGIbOsNqQy
the war that rages inside me.224Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXpuDa7uV
Yet in the dark, when I am still,224Please respect copyright.PENANAd2MvbjTr5g
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,224Please respect copyright.PENANAJP04PTl4gl
they whisper truths beneath the stars.224Please respect copyright.PENANA1HHzTIGXp0
And though the world may never ask,224Please respect copyright.PENANA3NTsyxdnP4
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
