Come...

I wrote a song yesterday,something I used to do all the time but have been unable to find the right words recently. Its deep and personal, but reflects some past emotions, so dont worry this is not written with my current self in mind, more for my old self. I dunno, i have been working on my book a bit, so i have to dig up a lot of old things, and with that in mind I wrote this song... No music yet (calling all those who could put some music to this... I would love to hear from you)

Your eyes betray the smile
That rests upon your face
They tell me that you long to find
A stronger, better place

Do I dare to say you lie?
I see the pain that breaks your heart.
On the surface I am perfect,
Yet inside, torn apart

Come lets put our masks on
Lets show them who has won
Take them gently by the hand
string them all along

And when the time is right
we force our happy eyes
we try to keep our smiles on
hoping tears are dry

I see im not alone
My mastery is shared
I see you faking nonchalance
pretending not to care

Come lets put our maks on
lets show them who has won
take them gently by the hand
string them all along

Do you see
The way I see you
And know that you lie
just as much as I?

Do you see
the way I see you
And know that You lie
As much, even more, than I?

Day by day our smiles fade
One day they all will see
That I am not so satisfied
And you are just like me

Soon the lie will disappear
And all deceptions fade
You and I left to unweave
The web that we have made

Come lets put our masks away
and show them who has won
They'll take us gently by the hand
On a new life we've to run
