Drift

Revealing my true self would make me vulnerable I keep hiding behind this mask Not anybody can see my facial features Not anybody can read my lips Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious lips The attack from outside won't ever strike me Nonrelevant intrinsic values Collapsing breaker on the sease of wrath Not anybody can see beneath the surface Not anybody can read my soul Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious lips The attack from outside won't ever hurt me Winds of throes - Inwardly streaming Severe tempest behind my opaque mask A lonely spot for a solitary man I avoid bad company Guarding my inner sanctum jealous If I have to stay alone - I stand this loneliness Feelings, emotions, thoughts, departed events Shrouding them, bury them Deep inside I feel the tears I can't cry Like toxic waste that won't go away My mask, my guardian, my protection, my plague Always staying at my sight Guarding my inner sactum jeulously Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious cover
