The Mask of Sanity

The Mask of Sanity

Masks, disguise, shades one load and carries,
The assaults, the betrayals, one only parries,
One little incident, one little push into madness,
You fall, never to return, into the abysmal darkness.

Ever so clandestine, hideous the lies,
Kill it once, kill it twice, the atrocity never dies,
Ignore it, run from it, veiled under the sanity,
Ever so defeated, ever so lost, gone your vanity.

Try to make it right, be back to normal,
Always the fake smiles, always so formal,
The cloak, the visor, changes your spirit, your soul,
A slave you become, not safe, not secure, not in control.

Let it free, let it out of the cage, let it all out,
Move, go ahead, never circle the roundabout,
The agony, the torment, returns, to haunt you again,
Face it, bury it, gone is the mask, gone is the pain.

Race Against...

Race Against...

Speed, force, a race against time,
Slow and steady not worth a dime,
Mountains to climb, oceans to cross,
Blinding Lights, tables turned, no loss.

Plan, move, a race against the world,
Be the wolf, be the pack or lead the herd,
No one stops, no one waits, no one cares,
Become a legend, the best, take the dares.

Strength, hope, a race against insanity,
Be true, be pure, shred all the vanity,
Falls, failures, part of life, part of the game,
Despondency, depression, set it all to flame.
