Rip and tear the strings that hold me to the key.
I give children presents but they never realize.
The things that happen here at night have unwound my fate.
You don't realize what you do to us,
When you stay away at night and keep the mask on.
But I do not care what you do tonight.
I can get through that silly, foolish light.
I can get through that worthless, funny mask
That you call protection and I call correction.
You should know what we will do
When we find our way to you.
You should know that you can't hide.
We will have our victories tonight.
And when you close your sweet, little eyes,
Know that we won't just disappear tonight.
You will cry and I will hear
The aches and pains from all those years
That the previous and new have to fear.
Silence your soul, there's no escape.
