The Mask

You say the things
That I want to hear
Build me up
See me fall
Crash and burn
Dash my hopes
Reveal my fears

The smile is only your mask
Your intentions
Have become crystal clear

You sink into a darkness I never knew could be

You have dark deeds
That need to be done
Build me up
See me fall
Crash and burn
Dash my hopes
Reveal my fears

You have such profound beauty
But only on the outside
You have such evil
Lurking just beneath
