Behind a Bloody Mask

• Description: Wearing masks is a common practice. we wear them to hide. we wear them to survive. we wear them to please the world, while inside we are dying, crying... when will it be safe to take them off? no one knows.

Pretty little baby
Rock yourself to sleep
Cry yourself to sleep
With no mercy, with no pity
The world has no place
For you

Little darling baby
Keep to the shadows
Stick to your subtle lies
All will be alright
You'll stay safely out of sight
Until the Dawn
Rips away
Your failing facade

Sweet precious child
On your hands
Amid the mud
You stumble, you tremble,
You die
As the world who loved you laughs
As the people who hugged you raise their hands
To bring down sharp words to cut you

You stare at your bloody hands

Poor wounded baby
alone without a song
No more strength to run away
No tears you've left to cry
My little baby
Left to die
Raise your hands
Lets see your face
Behind that bloody mask
