Masks You Keep

( excerpt from the album "I Will Partake")

I open the door and step inside
i'm inside my mind
filled with aspects of myself
reflections of my interactions
a collective

locked on the shelf
in my mind
hiding in the mind's eye
running from the dead
never allowing myself to be seen

this darkness spreads
these compartments leak
and soon we will be the same
in my mind's eye
uniform

locked on the shelf
in my head
hiding in the mind's eye
running from the dead
never allowing myself to be seen

how do i find myself
among these masks i keep
wearing them for so long
lost on the shelf
identity

locked on the shelf
in my head
hiding in the mind's eye
running from the dead
never allowing myself to be seen

keeping it hidden away
watching from behind my eyes
mind is a collective
of my pretending ways
i am losing myself

being pulled down
from my self
tearing the mask
from my eyes
my reflections will me
released

This game will cease
I'll find myself again
