My mask is cracking
Emotions unseen
Are being shown to the world
Ones that I do not want
Ones that I hide

They're ugly
…I'm ugly

My mask is cracking
Releasing a drop
That splatters on the cracked surface
Showing my depths
Showing my hatred
Showing myself detest

They're ugly
…I'm ugly

I don't want people to see
I want a clean slate
But those outside
Keep breaking my mask

Soon those cracks will enter
My soft, protected skin
Causing red to mar the white
And beauty will be shown
Like a red, red rose

I'll fall to the ground
The red marring the white
My mask will shatter
And my spirit will fly
As the red mars the water
Of the splattered drops
