Mask

[Timberwolf]

Mask

You wake up and you put it on.
How quickly do you need it?
Does the one lying next to you know?

You’ve worn it so long you barely notice it is there.
Have you ever taken it off at all?
Would you even know what to do without it?

Carrying it with you helps nothing.
How old were you when you made yours?
Did you volunteer or were you drafted?

You’re not as ugly inside as you think.
If it was stripped away, what would we see?
What are you afraid of?

Besides, I wear one too.
Inside, everybody’s got a secret.

Wow, isn't that the truth!
