Revealing my true self would make me vulnerable

I keep hiding behind this mask



Not anybody can see my facial features

Not anybody can read my lips

Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious cover

The attack from outside won't ever strike me



Nonrelevant intrinsic values

Collapsing breaker on the sease of wrath



Not anybody can see beneath the surface

Not anybody can read my soul

Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious cover

The attack from outside won't ever hurt me



Winds of throes - Inwardly streaming

Severe tempest behind my opaque mask



A lonely spot for a solitary man

I avoid bad company

Guarding my inner sanctum jealously

If I have to stay alone - I stand this loneliness



Feelings, emotions, thoughts, departed events

Shrouding them, bury them

Deep inside I feel the tears I can't cry

Like toxic waste that won't go away



My mask, my guardian, my protection, my plague

Always staying at my sight

Guarding my inner sactum jeulously

Opaque, sable, intransparent - My impervious cover
