beyond the mask

i just want someone to look at me beyond the mask

is it really so much to ask?

can i unmask

without being treated as an outcast

can you spare me a little light

because its too cold here at night

can you stay with me until twilight

and wait for tomorrows sunlight

do you have the courage to uncover my whole being

without being afraid of anything

Because I’m tired of my heart bleeding

every time someone left me crashing

look straight into my eyes

and see beyond the lies

kiss my tears goodnight

and just hold me through the night

put the word real into my smile

let us journey for a while

make every moment worthwhile

until our souls reconcile

can you give some love

protect me like a glove

but not caged like a dove

and put me to heaven up above

can you let me rest in your arm

let my defenses disarm

accept all my charm

and keep me away from harm

can you really accept me for who I am

sacrifice all that you can

give me the love that I crave

save me before I sink to my grave
