• 02 Mask (Crime of passion)

The dawn this morning penetrated
Through my windows and elated me
Who never thought to wait
For such an unexpected gift.
The sky was just a bit less grey
And then a confidential ray
Of sunlight fell on my bouquet
Of plastic flowers like a kiss.
It shone upon my few possessions,
On my failures, on my passions
And exposed without compassion
The self-hate I can't resist.
But maybe hate is in the past
For hope has come to me at last
To let me dare remove my mask,
Doff my mask, no more mask.

I want to change my point of view
I want to start my life anew
And brave the world without my mask.

But I had barely stepped outside
When I felt the enemy hiding there
Behind the scenes they spied
On me and dogged my every move.
And every surreptitious glance
Cuts through my heart just like a lance
And I can never stand a chance
Of ever making them approve.

You whose eyes fill me with fear
Please accept me as I am.
You who ridicule and jeer,
Who consign me to the damned,
Your indifference is plain
But I'm flesh and blood like you.
We're not different - we're the same
And I need affection too.
You who talk of charity
Spew your filth all over me.
Your abuse falls thick and fast
Making me regret my mask.
Quick a mask, a mask, my mask.
My mask
You tried to hunt me down like prey,
You tried to make me turn at bay,
But still you couldn't keep away
The love I felt deep in my bones.
And so in spite of your contempt,
I shall endure a last attempt
To reach the one that heaven sent
So I would never be alone.
Yet just the minute I laid eyes
Upon my love I realised
The same mask that I wore disguised
The face I longed to call my own.

Goodbye to courtship's lovely dance,
The plague had won. We lost our chance.
Our skin was welded to our masks
To our masks, our masks.

We would have loved to run and throw
Ourselves into each other's soul,
To strip defenceless, to console,
To seize our hearts, to seize our hips.
But our fears barricade us still
For when we try to speak at will
Our words are masked and set to kill
"I love you" trembling on our lips.
So once again we don't intrude,
We don't dare leave our solitude.
And separately we spend our strength
To keep each other at arms length.
Indifferent and unattached,
Two strangers locked behind our masks
