Hiding Place

Everything I do is a charade A false front to keep the enemy at bay So I bear my teeth but look away I'm afraid that you'll see me This is my hiding place Behind these rotten walls I'm slowly wearing away An open door draws you near me So I let my barriers decay I wanted you to know me This is my hiding place Behind these rotten walls Inside this rotten mind Hidden from the rotten world Every shade of my countenance Is a veil to conceal me And when it falls apart It will reveal me This is my hiding place Behind these rotten walls Inside this rotten mind
