Don't try to decode me; br Enter into any liberties, br Never try to read my mind, br So aloof cause you're not my kind. br br You're a bore and so uncouth; br And you wouldn't know the truth br If it bludgeoned you in the eye- br And this is all more reason why br br My words won't tell a thing to you, br There's nothing you can say or do: br Don't bother taking me to task; br I'm hidden well: I wear the Mask. br br No treason makes my blood turn cold br No actions make my own less bold br Don't need limelight, in which to bask: br I'm self contained; I wear the Mask. br br No one can recognize or know br The real me, behind the show; br The Mask contain conveniently br So I can be more vehement me. br br I'll let you live if you'll retreat br Away from me and do not seek br To move the Mask aside to find br The real face that lives behind. br br Worn so long, that now my face br Has rotted off, inside this place br I'm just a skull, inside this frame br Though once I had a living name.
