True about you

When a smile
Isn't really a smile
When a laugh
Is less than a bluff

When a "hi!"
Comes out as forced
Makes you wonder
If life's coated with frost

Are we all masks?
Then life's a masquerade
Are we all players
In this game of charades?

Cuz nothing is
As it seems to be
We come and go
Hidden, it seems to me

Nothing showing
All out of sight
Pulling on daily masks
That stick with frightful might

What is real?
What then is true?
Show me something
True about you

Life cannot be
Just a masquerade
Just empty faces
A game of charades

So show me something
True about you
That I may believe
What I know to be true

The truth about you
