I wake up in an empty home
Surrounded by the masks I wear each day
A parade of those I’ve sometimes been
All the people I’ve chosen to replace
No one lives here anymore
All these words were never mine before
Today I can put on a braver face
Now that mine has been fully erased
None of my masks have any eyes
The only way to never be recognized
I stumble through life completely blind
I walk into walls with total peace of mind
Under the pearl white skin
My true nature begins
