they think they knowhim
but they will never see
the things he is hiding
until the day its too late
for by day he wears many mask
but by night he plays a deadly game
they will never see through the mask
he has so skillfuly made
there is one that looks happy
used to cover uphis tears
another is a mask ofconfidence
used to cover up his weakness and fear
he has one that is laughing
to veil his broken heart
all these masks and more
he uses to hide the truth
from all those around him
but at night when he is alone
he removes those masks
to resume that deadly game
no one ever suspects to see
his long sleeves are hiding
the results of his play
the scars from the past
and the deep red slashes
of more recent times he has played
it is a game with deadly stakes
and one day he will lose
the day he finally cuts too deep
and lets his life drain away
a day when his masks are layed aside
and everyone learns the truth
of who he really was and
the deadly game he played
but they will never see
the things he is hiding
until the day its too late
for by day he wears many mask
but by night he plays a deadly game
they will never see through the mask
he has so skillfuly made
there is one that looks happy
used to cover uphis tears
another is a mask ofconfidence
used to cover up his weakness and fear
he has one that is laughing
to veil his broken heart
all these masks and more
he uses to hide the truth
from all those around him
but at night when he is alone
he removes those masks
to resume that deadly game
no one ever suspects to see
his long sleeves are hiding
the results of his play
the scars from the past
and the deep red slashes
of more recent times he has played
it is a game with deadly stakes
and one day he will lose
the day he finally cuts too deep
and lets his life drain away
a day when his masks are layed aside
and everyone learns the truth
of who he really was and
the deadly game he played
