Don'T Try To Decode Me

Don't try to decode me; Enter into any liberties, Never try to read my mind, So aloof cause you're not my kind. You're a bore and so uncouth; And you wouldn't know the truth If it bludgeoned you in the eye- And this is all more reason why My words won't tell a thing to you, There's nothing you can say or do: Don't bother taking me to task; I'm hidden well: I wear the Mask. No treason makes my blood turn cold No actions make my own less bold Don't need limelight, in which to bask: I'm self contained; I wear the Mask. No one can recognize or know The real me, behind the show; The Mask contain conveniently So I can be more vehement me. I'll let you live if you'll retreat Away from me and do not seek To move the Mask aside to find The real face that lives behind. Worn so long, that now my face Has rotted off, inside this place I'm just a skull, inside this frame Though once I had a living name.
