MASK

They made me wear a mask
They said it was a game
They said I could have anything
I could have wealth and fame

They made me wear a mask
They said they were my friends
They said I could go anywhere
To all the world's ends

They made me wear a mask
It wasn't all that fun
They said I'd get the hang of it
I could be anyone

They made me wear a mask
I said it was too tight
They said it would adjust to me
At least they thought it might

They made me wear a mask
I said it wasn't fair
They said I couldn't question it
They said I shouldn't care

They made me wear a mask
They said it was the rule
They said it was the protocol
A necessary tool

They made me wear a mask
They said it was my face
It hid my true identity
It didn't leave a trace

They made me wear a mask
They told me I was free
But still I can't remove the mask
They buried it with me
