Have you ever noticed that people see what they want to see?
everyone looks in my direction, but none see me.
a thousand different faces,
in a thousand different places
I hope each time someone will see inside
and each time that hope has died.
everyone thinks they know the way i should be
yet no one has bothered to really ask me.
you can't please them all the saying goes
but just once i'd like to meet someone who knows
what the world is like living behind a thousand masks
living for others to accomplish their thousand tasks
I am weary, so drained from living up to other's thoughts
while inside my dead soul rots
I live my life on an empty plane
and each mask has a frozen smile to hide my pain.
