Behind The Mask

© 2016 Mark Cote

the antiseptic eaves
the cathedral on Mars
willow strings
can't hide the scars

neon styles
and plastic smiles
the paper dolls
can't hide the bars

(bridge) holiday highs
                  and letting go lows
                  sometimes you never know
                  you never know

(chorus) behind the veil
                   behind the mask
                   what you don't know
                   you never ask
                   what demons or tears hide
                   behind the mask

sky-fall flies
to embered skies
the honeymoon
not quite that sweet

(bridge)
(Instrumental)
(chorus)
