Denial mask

I spend my waking hours
In search of a forgotten face

My thoughts are clouded
My reflection covered

By the denial mask again

Confusion reigns
I've fooled myself
I can't keep up this facade

The death bird is circling
Waiting for that final lapse in judgement

Fly away you foul smelling
Maggot of the stratosphere
Carrion some other place

I've smashed my face
Into the wall for the last time
Cracked shards of the denial mask
Have fallen

I see your motives all too well
