Everyone wears them, strutting around
But their souls remain untouched, without a sound
I, too, bear mine, suffering deeply
Yearning for freedom, more and more steeply

I am me, yet not quite the same
Visible, yet invisible, part of the game
A polite smile, my facade's grace
But my true thoughts, no one can trace

But now, I tear off the mask of the day
Standing bare before you, looking away
What was hidden is brought to the light
An open book from your sight, just right

This book is locked for the world to see
Only you hold the key, that's all it'll be
You read me, delve into my soul
Stirring within, making me whole and small

I am me, truly me
You look at me and you really see
I speak freely, shining bright
Enjoy the moment, it slips like night

I am me, truly me
You look at me and you really see
I speak freely, shining bright
Enjoy the moment, it slips like night
