ITS ONLY MY DISGUISE (©christian stone) I rode in from the border, I was blistered from the heat I was branded by confusion, I was facing my defeat The ravages of war, she said, Theyve only made you wise Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise The writer waits in darkness while the artist weeps at noon The poet walks on broken stones, but she looks to the moon Look at you, youre blind, she said, I see it in your eyes Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise Theres hunger in a cold heart, there is silence in a room There is passion in the hotel, in an instant there is doom Ill never understand, she said, You hide behind your cries Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise The barmaid pours another drink and talks of wasted love Somehow I turn it off as I hear thunder from above Ive known you all along, she said, Ive known your alibis Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise The empty chambers closed off, there is danger in the hall The curtains hide the lonesomeness of hearts hung on the wall You hid yourself so well, she said, Your mystery never dies Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise Ambition was the only word that sealed those iron doors Where danger wed adventure, giving birth to nothing more You sit there with your thoughts, she said, To me its no surprise Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise I paced the floors of hardwood, I made love with my own guilt I stood as mountains crumbled, I tore down the walls I built I saw you in a dream she said, Your heart was twice its size Oh no, I said, Thats just my mask Its only my disguise
