Despite my alterations
The memories are not fake
A bane on my existence
i cannot seem to shake

And the dreams don't fade
Even on the waking stage
And the tears still fall
On a blank and waiting page

i don't just see now
Where the icy mask lies
i feel it seething, seeping
From my very own eyes

i've become the thing
i said i would not be
The mask is mine now
It's become a part of me

The others have taken over
Rynn and Storm took the stage
i am here behind the mask
Barely on a written page

i watch with bated breath
As Kurai is allowed to play
She'll get us into trouble
With trouble that cannot stay

It all plays out so strangely
Since some of us don't speak
Some of us too casually
Just turn the other cheek

i've become the thing
i said i would not be
The mask is mine now
It's become a part of me

The smile rarely falters
Even where it's frayed
And eyes just turn to glass
When the game is played

Whether painted or not
My brothers still see
The truth behind the mask
That has become a part of me

Luke is inside my head
Romara can see my heart
They see the torn up fragments
And know what tears me apart

But the rest of the world
Can't see what's in these eyes
i will not allow anyone else
Beyond the mask, my disguise

i've become the very thing
i said and said i would not be
And yet the mask is mine now
It has become a part of me
i am listening to Kerli's "Walkin On Air," and it gives me hope. i listen to Stone Sour's "Say You'll Haunt Me" and all i can do is cry out my grief, my pain. i have to wear this mask, you see, or everyone would see what i feel beyond these little moments. Thankfully only my brothers see beyond it anymore.
