Masquerade

What mask shall I wear today?
To express what my heart can't say
What am I feeling right now?
So I can pair it with my mask somehow

Shall I wear the one with a smile?
To pretend everything's okay for awhile
Or the one with the frown and tear?
To try and let my feelings be sincere

Shall I wear the one with fiery eyes?
And all the meaning it implies
Or the one with rose-tinted glasses?
To give the red flags a lot of chances

What mask shall I wear today?
To hide and be seen in some sort of way
Or I'll stay at home and be alone
So I don't have to set a different tone
