I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face
You saw something else living under my skin
The wolf with no thought of disgrace

I know I know some things you must never confess
I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot
Just like Hermann Hesse

I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin
I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in
I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess
I left my identity back in the theatre
Just like Hermann Hesse

You saw my precious mask falling from my face
I stood naked in front of you
The wolf with no thought of disgrace
I know I know some things you must never confess

You chose the spirit I chose the flesh
Just like Hermann Hesse
Just like Hermann Hesse
