Behind the Mask  (Slinky)
Who are we behind the mask?
The mask  we show the world at large.
The mask we wear to be in charge.
A masquerade we play through life  
To mask the sorrow of our strife
To mask the pain we must endure
To mask our love, if we're unsure.
The masks we wear are firmly fixed
Masked,'Tween brightest sun, and shadows fixed
We wear the mask to hide the lies
We tell ourselves; and no one spies, the mask
Becomes our outer shell, the mask becomes our private hell.
In darkest night the mask, it falls.
We take it off; down come the walls. The Mask
We've removed; momentarily we are free.  But The mask
I've become, and the mask is me.
