Another day full
of light
And yet I hide
to full of fright
My heart so tender
torn and bruised
Battered and broken
but that's nothing new
I long for peace
free of pain
A quiet shelter
from all of life's
rain
Voices screaming
loud and clear
End your life
there's nothing
for you here
And yet I stay
and try to fight
Praying desperately
for a peaceful night
Desperate for love
for someone to care
A listening ear
so might share
My dirty secrets
my demos inside
Everyone prefers
that I smile and hide
No one to hear
no one to believe
The shame I have carried
for way to many years
So day by day
I'll slip my mask on
and quiet my cries
from dusk to dawn
