burial mask by Burial Mask

free me from myself
crushing under the swell
hanging from a thread
a scream to wake the dead

hollow points of view
reeling from the noose
holding my head low
traded humanity for

born to be a disguise
bred to live a lie
keep me under your thumb
broken, buried and numb

learned to bite at this cage
clipped wings to rage
gnawing hearts to the bone
dull eyes once shone

breaking into life
holding pain outside
nothing seems to bear
the light of truth she shares

holding up the sun
burning into the one
the one who needs to see
no lie can control me

born to be a disguise
bred to live a lie
keep me under your thumb
broken, buried and numb

learned to bite at this cage
clipped wings to rage
gnawing hearts to the bone
dull eyes once shone
