some masks were made to help the healing ... their tubes are clear often tied • often seen dancing from their ceiling ... with a will rarely denied
they won’t work if one beside you ... no matter if their will is strong • only the honest remain untrue ... just enemies still get along
the seat beneath us is unworthy ... the sea waves weather dark or nice • no one you know will bless the clergy ... floating once from sinking twice
some masks are made for hands and prayer ... others rites require a priest • presidents blame popes and mayors ... some masks are made for those deceased
people beneath you on probation ... exhibit A objects appeal • the scar of slaves divides the nation ... your honor swears no one should kneel
no one above the law they save ... can raise objection nor the dead • no one so shallow needs a grave ... by powers vested me instead
i don’t know when i’ll be done fixing ... the parts of me i need to mend • i burned the batter i was mixing ... i want no cake i have no friend
some masks pretend for those that hide ... everyone that tries to see • i’ve got no shame ran out of pride ... there’s nothing in my head but me
