Beneath this mask
This facade of lies
Is a tiny feeling
Growing inside
Below my skin
Paper thin
Demons are multiplying
My insides dividing
To make room
Inside
For a tiny feeling
Growing and
Moaning and
Tearing into me
There's a war inside
Behind my heart
Two enemies joust
For the right to stay
Under my skin
Depression wins
