To mask emotion
Without a face, some one walks
On a dreary, weary night.
And a silent whisper heard
Slowly fills the void
The moon, the stars
They seem so close
Yet so far out of reach.
I wander on, until dawn
I find what lurks beneath
Without a shadow of a doubt
Breathing steadies from running pace
Into shallow gasps.
For what I see in front of me
Is but a human mask.
On a dreary, weary night.
And a silent whisper heard
Slowly fills the void
The moon, the stars
They seem so close
Yet so far out of reach.
I wander on, until dawn
I find what lurks beneath
Without a shadow of a doubt
Breathing steadies from running pace
Into shallow gasps.
For what I see in front of me
Is but a human mask.
