Masks On?

BlackAngel Evo

Pull on a mask
Never show your true colours
It'll only get you killed
This unfair cruel world

So many deceivers
Gifted in the art
To mock and lie
So many broken hearts

Bury down your feelings
Never let them come through
Never let them shine
Never let them grow

Harvesting love will only get you killed
Trampled and broken into a million pieces

Bury down your feelings
Never let them come through
Never let them shine
Never let them grow
