jerome pradon – mask lyrics
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 showed 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 morе mask
i want to change my point of view
i want to start my life anеw
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 d+mned
your indifference is plain
but i am 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!
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 realized
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 defenseless
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 k!ll
the “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 arm’s length
indifferent and unattached:
two strangers locked behind our masks!
