The Mask

Although you tend to view the world in your own peculiar fashion

You may not always seek to win another's satisfaction

Maybe you're not capable of long-lasting commitments

You keep the time, you keep the beat, yet, still you keep your distance

Life's been fun and life's been real, but somehow it all seems so surreal

Memories of days gone by, some make you laugh, some make you cry

Reflecting back on past mistakes, it all becomes so clear

They say that hindsight's 20/20 and I see clearer every year

It seems to me I used to dream of better things to come

Now my dreams are full of things much better left undone

It feels as if times running out, and yet, we've just begun

Feels as if we've reached the end but still the road leads on

Take no prisoners, take no chances, can't take any more bad romances

Keep up the walls you've built so tall, keep on with your pretenses

Until somebody cares enough to try and get past your defenses
