Glass Masks

by No Need For A Name   Sep 28, 2006


Why do I bother
With all this nonsense
Of hiding confidence
Lacking consequence
Loss of my sixth sense
Behind barbed-wire fence
Which is my eyes

Why do you bother
To try to fix me
A walking deity
Or thats what I believe
I know its not to be
These masks are my keys
Of which truths lie

(Chorus)
Cause glass masks shatter
Glass masks cut, bleed
Infect me with this cancer
Deny me all the answers

Why should I care
If all you do is beat me while I'm down
Destroy the lost who have found
Burn where I lay in the ground
Sell them by the pound
Your father should be proud
Of his death

Why should you care
Why should you step aside when I step out in front
You've lost your cocky strut
You've spilled all of your guts
You blame it on bad luck
I send your life a muck
And take what comes next

(Chorus)
Cause glass masks shatter
Glass masks cut, bleed
Infect me with this cancer
Deny me all the answers
Cause glass masks are blind
Glass masks can't see
No eyes to check behind
No legs to run and hide

Deny me all the questions
Deny me my self-respect
Deny me expectations
Deny me my own regrets
Deny me preservation
Deny me your intent
Deny me motivation
Deny me your extent

(Chorus)
Cause glass masks shatter
Glass masks cut, bleed
Infect me with this cancer
Deny me all the answers
Cause glass masks are blind
Glass masks can't see
No eyes to check behind
No legs to run and hide

    .. This reminds me of maybe something that would be sung by Evanessence . I love the rhyme scheme and the chorus . They're both excellent , and I have no improvements you could make . I usually break poems down and give suggestions , but there's no need here . Very well done , 5/5
