Dec. 11, 2005 - Homecoming '05
I started today
Like any other
I put on the hat
And put on the mask
That I knew the world
Wanted to see
I went on my way
Hoping no one would guess
The face behind the smile
With my head tipped down
My hat covered my eyes
So no on could see me cry
On the town
My girls in tow
Smile pasted on
And my bright pink hat
That spoke measures of vanity
Secured the attention I craved
Dance away the dark
Dance away the pain
Forever gnawing in my heart
Crawl under the mask
Safely covered by deception
When truth is never seen
Unravel to find
Hidden by glamour
Tears running again
The mask comes off
Sliding down with me
Breaking on the floor
The hat and the mask
Are the game I play
To try to make you see
Only the person
I want you to see
Never the real me
