I must flee this scene.
I must not be seen.
Your mask has dropped.
You must be stopped
before our town is taken over
by my so-called former lover.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
I must flee this scene.
I must not be seen.
Your mask has dropped.
You must be stopped
before our town is taken over
by my so-called former lover.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
I know he is here.
I hide from his face.
He’s coming for me.
Clouds quicken the pace.
His descent inspires awe and fear.
He’ll sweep into town like a dove.
His ire can move mountains.
For me, he moves the sky above.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
Who controls our tiny town?
I stand here in my ball gown,
gazing at the masked guests,
wondering who gives the tests.
The one who runs the evil game
and brought to our town deadly fame.
THE DEAD GAME
The mask has cracked.
I can’t keep it together.
A fight to be perfect.
A battle to be accepted.
The mask has cracked.
The game is over.
This is the real me.
The one behind the mask.
There is a reason to fear.
The Dead will soon be here.

UNMASKED
Show me your face.
Reveal the truth.
Take off your mask.
What lies beneath?
Without your arrogant facade.
Your roguish manner.
Your flirty ways.
What lies beneath?
Walk to me
As yourself
Without any lies.
What lies beneath?
Let the mask fall to the ground.
Let it break.
Shatter to pieces.
I see what lies beneath.
The mask has cracked.
I can’t keep it together.
A fight to be perfect.
A battle to be accepted.
The mask has cracked.
Game over.
