How long have I been waiting?
How long can all this last?
Ideas are Congregating
But were hiding in the past
Ideas seem to come too late
When everyone has gone
No one wants to sit and wait
An audience withdrawn
I'll impress my reflection
Or stir the likes of you

You don't care

Masks of stone and masks of jade
Masks of tongues that may persuade
The devil in his throne of fire
To give in to his own desire
And destroy the masks of all you know
With everything but face to show
Giving birth to honest plain
Where lying people still remain
Thoughts and feelings all will hide
Behind facades that won’t subside
With apathy towards the soul
Sacrifice for self-control
Masks of gold and masks of steel
Some masks never made to peel
But slowly give in to erosion
Or outburst of your self-emotion
And for a time would give away
The things that flee from light of day
Against the will of mask and wearer
Now an
