Hide

                You hide behind your words,
                 All grammer and pretense.
                 Though I've heard most all you've said,
                 And none of it makes sense.

                 You hide behind your job,
                 And all your fancy clothes.
                 You think you have us fooled,
                 But one or two stills knows.

                 You live a different life now,
                 And covered up your tracks.
                 You've cloaked yourself in lies,
                 And shifted all the facts.

                 You feel that we can't see you,
                 That your mask in still in place.
                 That you've hid it all so well,
                 That none can see your face.

                 You've made your past your enemy,
                 And faught it tooth and claw.
                 You've perfected this deception,
                 To supress your every flaw.

                 So you've built up your disguise,
                 And extinguished every clue.
                 But the final luagh is mine,
                 'Cause I can still see you.

                  For all that you have hidden,
                  Covered, or concealed.
                  No matter how you try it,
                  All your secrets are revealed,

                  Because I know your very essence
                  And everything you do.
                  You cannot keep things from me,
                  For you see I'm just like you...
