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
