Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,131Please respect copyright.PENANAXgxkvwctHR
painted smiles in borrowed light.131Please respect copyright.PENANA1wqEZxX8Ac
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,131Please respect copyright.PENANAZWOloLcXRq
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,131Please respect copyright.PENANAqnWN36JQsJ
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.131Please respect copyright.PENANArVn32p9Elb
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,131Please respect copyright.PENANAClojN9K9Az
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see131Please respect copyright.PENANA5NloTWlwkd
the war that rages inside me.131Please respect copyright.PENANAaB824nIo5I
Yet in the dark, when I am still,131Please respect copyright.PENANATTAtHntG6v
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,131Please respect copyright.PENANAXy0mCT5yhc
they whisper truths beneath the stars.131Please respect copyright.PENANAt7KmHxowr7
And though the world may never ask,131Please respect copyright.PENANAiWR7AvmpRV
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
