Clown mask

I could tell you everything in life
is poofy clouds and shit
but I'm just not the type to lie
and that stuff makes me sick

I could tell you how I feel oppressed
so you pretend to help
my words could make you so depressed
you might go kill yourself

But I don't wanna drag you down
I'm not that kinda dude
I'd rather just act like a clown
and make you think I'm crude

My only gift is mystery
a trait that makes me interesting
I wear this fake smile to conceal
a secret I cannot reveal

If you could see past my disguise
you'd leave me in disgust
And it should come as no surprise
there's no-one I can trust

There's nowhere you can go for help
when you can't even trust yourself
the curse im blessed with pulls me down
just leave me be and let me drown
