The Mask

When someone shows you who they really are Believe them They hide behind the mask Will show you love and affection But the mask gets too heavy, it falls Their love becomes hate This is their true self They will repair the mask And they'll wear it again Hiding in plain sight Until it's slips again When someone tells you who they really are Listen to them Their charisma may entice you With talks of beauty and love Mouth becomes full, choking on lies Words become hate This is their true self Apologies in abundance You accept them Their voice will stay silent For a while Only the chosen one will see the true self They save it especially for you, oh lucky you It's a cycle that's hard to get off round and round go the pedals Be sure to wear a crash helmet It will only end in disaster
