Beneath the Mask

Where have you been? Been searching all along Came facing twilight on and on Without a clue, without a sign Without grasping at the real question to be asked Where have I been? I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind All free for you to draw I'm a shape-shifter, what else should I be? Please don't take off my mask Revealing dark Moments of calm Nothing left to be found A mirror right in front of me That's where I find An empty glass Reflecting the sad truth It's telling words not to be told I need the mask I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw I'm a shape-shifter chained down to my core Please don't take off my mask, my place to hide I can't tell you How to see me Just a cage of bones There's nothing inside Will it unleash me? Burning down the walls Is there a way for me to break? I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw I'm a shape-shifter, have no face to show Please don't take off my mask, my disguise
