Do you see that this mask has since grown on me? Do you see that I’ve lost myself in my own deceit? Do you see that I’ve become this mask eternally? Do you see that I’ve lost touch with reality? I am bare; monstrous. I am faceless; tainted. I’m guilty; punishment. I am beaten; defeated. I was never the mask that I put on. You were under the illusion that I was. I am wanting; reaching. I am longing; desire. I am damned; undeserving. I am deceit; self-lying. I have fallen through dimensions of multiple degrees. I am the dynamic form of your every fantasy. But I still hear the rattling of my bones, the writhing of my teeth. I am as afraid, I am as afraid. Are you still afraid? We can turn down the lights and live this way. Are you still afraid? We can pull down the curtains and live this play. Are you still afraid? In the dance of our lies we’ll live peacefully. Are you still afraid? Are you still afraid to look in the mirror? Are you still afraid to look in the mirror? Are we still afraid to look at each other?
