Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,353Please respect copyright.PENANA64WrhiLa9G
painted smiles in borrowed light.353Please respect copyright.PENANA2khlLNz04Q
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,353Please respect copyright.PENANAbUmswBMFz4
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,353Please respect copyright.PENANAWlewZPk3AJ
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.353Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmO5no8fN
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,353Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jm7FCdKOS
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see353Please respect copyright.PENANAPCY80fmDsY
the war that rages inside me.353Please respect copyright.PENANAsSNcxwGg04
Yet in the dark, when I am still,353Please respect copyright.PENANAOd5o7MF3w8
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,353Please respect copyright.PENANABg8FppUMxi
they whisper truths beneath the stars.353Please respect copyright.PENANAYJV1ibdjeI
And though the world may never ask,353Please respect copyright.PENANAEq41rTaoEQ
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
