Beneath the Mask
I wear a mask of porcelain bright,319Please respect copyright.PENANADnk8a162VS
painted smiles in borrowed light.319Please respect copyright.PENANAczSEUkdXMI
Yet in the hush of midnight’s breath,319Please respect copyright.PENANALggNXTiu3P
I taste the truth, I dance with death.
The words I speak, so light, so sweet,319Please respect copyright.PENANAQCbMawrUkA
hide footsteps bruised on weary feet.319Please respect copyright.PENANA71sWGaJhxg
A laugh that rings, a heart that cries,319Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ7YZhlyEw
a dream that drowns in silver lies.
I turn away, the world won’t see319Please respect copyright.PENANAMC3yYoPVN2
the war that rages inside me.319Please respect copyright.PENANAMZbpWupJe7
Yet in the dark, when I am still,319Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfvpTKYXl
the shadows bend to match my will.
They hold my pain, they guard my scars,319Please respect copyright.PENANA0A0dr4DAez
they whisper truths beneath the stars.319Please respect copyright.PENANAOeiNudG39B
And though the world may never ask,319Please respect copyright.PENANAdsomYGeWhE
the night still knows—beneath the mask.
