Darkness fills my eyes
As the mask starts to slip
Showing the world
My demons inside
The insecurities that eat
And feed on my despair
That take my soul
Tear it to shreds
In a bloody, gory mess
I care too much
Leave myself open
To be used
Abused
And abandoned
Rejected
Dejected
Alone
The worthlessness rules
And kills my confidence
Leaving me dark
And empty inside
So I wear this mask
And adjust it as it slips
To keep everyone happy
And hide myself
My insecurities from all
So they think I'm normal
And treat me well
But no one loves me
Not the way I'd want them to
It makes the darkness grow
But all is well
I have my mask
To hide myself away
To save you all from me
Without it
I'd have gone psycho by now
Killing others or myself
So I'll keep it on
And stay the same
Imitation of sane
But look closely and you'll see
The blank and empty eyes
That are windows
To my soul
And give a glimpse
Of the pain inside
But its ok
