the mask comes off

by Antwan Fields - Aries

the day i saw you for who you really are was a bad day
but you saw what i was made of too
i removed my mask, drank from the flask
and with my fairy friends off i flew
anger at myself for being so stupid as to take you at face value, proves i am not real
i attacked your enthusiasm at fucking me with WAY too much zeal
and im laughing on new years, i'm not passed out
but when you look at me i can see your doubt
throw me out of the room, and i land on my ass
i look back just in time to catch the look of revulsion fast
so i can act sophisticated, but when you look back you'll laugh at me
as i continue to imitate a blind man. see?
im falling away into hell, why can't i stop??
youre boring me, im snoring, see, im the cream of the crop
faggot, faggot, i can take being called
but i see you are now lifeless and even i am appalled
i told the story about my head that i shaved
and now i have no hair
now when i take off my mask i can honestly say
theres nothing there

Reason for writing:

    true story....lets just say that someone i thought was wasn't
