~My Masquerade~ For the world I am displayed; They always watch but cannot see through my masquerade. I feel every moment fly; My heart is beating, pulse racing, breath held as I lie. My innocence I can't defend; I know that surely this will linger 'til my very end. I brought this all upon myself; Mask upon mask, lie upon lie like valueless wealth. Dare I take these masks off – no! My former self haunts me everywhere I go. False glory, false honor, false fame; With all these masks I seem to have forgotten my own name.
