no make up can hide the horror or pain inside
the bruises will fade yet the anger starts to build
with each blow i feel myself slip further and further aside
what every one sees is not but a mask
the tears fall where no one can see
forever staying by yourside
when will it end when will i be free
never showing never saying what you do
forever living in fear
no make up can hide the horror and pain inside
never letting you see a single tear
with your final blow my soul has finally died...
