Into this Mix of Mask and Madness, I Bring Love

Into this mix of mask and madness, I bring love.

Easy to pass laws, make rules, break rules, break hearts, break hearts, break lives, hide behind a mask. 

Easy to turn what you love into pretty puppet playthings and hold them by a string. You think you're in control, by the power that you hold, the wheels on which you roll, and the money in your 'fold.

Into this mix of mask and madness, I bring love.

Yet that which I bring can not be bought, sold, or foretold.

Living your loveless lie, will only catch you on the fly, hang you by your tie, and trap you till you die. Your draconian slavish ways, put fetters on your days and invite demons into your sleepless nights.

For only so long can you exist on the notes of only one song, playing for however long, without that which I bring.

Into this mix of mask and madness, I bring love.

Into this dungeon, I come, bringing a heart as big as the sun, and when all is said and done, I shall be the one…to survive and thrive.

Till then, I shall sit and bide my time because...

Into this mix of mask and madness, I bring love.
