Harlequin's Masque

Constant effort to make them smile

Contain my tears and acting with guile

They laugh at me, and I am laughing back

But deep inside, I feel the armor crack

Am I here to give them all such glee?

No thought of the pain it's causing me

Forever viewed as a jester, a clown

But behind the masque there lies a frown

Behind the masque, disguised and unseen

Behind the masque, hear me scream

Masque consumes me, I can't hide behind

This horrific grasp, the lonely confines

To keep up this charade is getting so hard

Must seek my revenge, catch them all off guard

Lure them in Make them feel secure

Force them into my demented detour

Show my true face, twisted and grotesque

And when I laugh last, it will be the best

Behind the masque, disguised and unseen

Behind the masque, hear me scream

Behind the masque, Behind the masque

hear me scream, Behind the masque
