this mask of laughter's your true self's disguise
if it fools your God then your God has no eyes
your costume can't cover what your eyes expose
you've left all your wretchedness closed
the more you ignore the more pain that you feel
the air is thick with the thoughts you conceal
the whole world's undressing in front of your eyes
as you add to your senseless disguise
come my way and hurry along
I'll take you soaring with the angels and gods
leave your prison chains on the wall
you'll live forever and you'll never fall
first you writhe with the worries there under your skin
then you're paralyzed by the silence within
though your nightmares may drown in your pools of denial
they seep out ‘tween your teeth with each smile
come my way and hurry along
I'll take you soaring with the angels and gods
leave your prison chains on the wall
you'll live forever and you'll never fall
