I wear the mask that grins and lies,

I see Percy walking up to his father to hug him.

While mine just leaves without any goodbyes

It leaves my soul feeling dim

I must try to look happy for him

It hides my cheeks and shades my eyes,—

Im sitting here just chillin' with the guys

But i'm just a joke to them

All b/c of a damn brick

Their laughter makes my heart sick

This debt I pay to human guile;

I am hunted by a ghoul

And i can't forget it

I am so pathetic

With torn and bleeding hearts I smile,

I can barely keep down a meal

It keeps coming up as bile

My life was never in style

Maybe they'll keep my quests on file
