Just a poem I wrote about people and the masks they wear.

Actor, Actor, who are you?

Which face is true, which face is true?

I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Do even you know who you are?

So many masks, so many scars

Who is it there? Whose are those eyes?

So many lies, so many lies

Actor, Actor, who are you?

Which face is true, which face is true?

What dark secrets lie untold?

Within your heart, within your sould

Who is it now? Who is it there?

This isn’t fair, this isn’t fair

Actor, Actor, who are you?

Which face is true, which face is true?

Who are you? Do you know?

Whose face is it shoved down below?

Who is it there? Who hides so deep?

Without a word, the master sleeps

Do you remember, who is master here?

Or is it you that lives in fear?

Behind masks of gold and lace

Who is it there? Whose is the face?

Masks of blood and darkness too

Whose is the face, I wish I knew

Actor, Actor, who are you?

Which face is true, which face is true?

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
