The You Beneath

Trusted face

Perfect way to hide

Hold the space

Let no one inside

Secret's safe

Well concealed

We all believe the masquerade as real

We all believe your face

Quick to cast a shadow

When they hold you to the light

Comfortable in disguise

Through it all

No one ever sees

The you beneath

Set the bait

Lure them close to you

Deeper fake

Dangling the truth

No mistake

No reveal

We all believe the masquerade as real

We all believe your face

Always well prepared

For them to catch you in a lie

Always on

Always right

Through it all

No one ever sees

The you beneath

Never hesitation

When they look you in the eye

Covered up

In plain sight

Through it all

No one ever sees

The you beneath
