While wearing my mask, my friendly face
I’m the one the world wants me to be.
I never seem lost, I don’t seem out of place,
and my smile is what you want to see.
With my mask I will smile when you want me to smile
or I’ll grin and I’ll snicker and sneer -
I even may cry for you once in a while,
And everyone’s glad that I’m here.
But this is just my mask
You cannot read my mind
O this is just my mask
You cannot look behind.
Remove it, and you’ll find -
While wearing my mask, my evil face
I sing songs full of horror and glee.
You’ll find that my mind works in most curious ways
and you’ll come, my weird smile for to see.
With my mask I will show you the Dark in your soul
- you won’t notice I never show mine -
I may tell you I’m down, but I just play my role,
and my mask tells you I am just fine.
But this is just my mask
You cannot read my mind
O this is just my mask
You cannot look behind.
Remove it, and you’ll find -
While wearing my mask, my human face
you may think there are feelings in there.
But I sleep though my nights and I wake through my days
and all of the time I don’t care.
With my mask I will mask that there’s no passion left,
that I’m empty and hollow inside,
but I walk like a corpse, of my soul I’m bereft,
and the child that I once was has died.
But this is just my mask
You cannot read my mind
O this is just my mask
You cannot look behind.
Remove it, and you’ll find -
another mask
and another mask
and another mask
and the void.
Das ist ein Lied über mich.
Weil ich einmal im Leben wahrhaftig sein wollte.

This is a song about myself
Because I wanted to by true, at least once in my life
