You are interested in a mask you say?
Come in, come in, i have whatever you might need.
See this one?
I made it out of paper mache
when i was a little child.
It will hide your fear and your loneliness.
Or this one here?
Its carved out of wood,
it might feel hard to the touch
but i promise it is very comfortable to wear.
Obscuring all your weaknesses and failures.
There are masks forged from iron,
some others created from silk.
Do you see those over there?
Are they not colorful?
And the painted smiles just superb?
I tell you, wearing this,
no one will see your sadness,
not even a single tear in your eye.
Come, look at those intricate details,
feel the fabrics i used
to create masks that hide your true feelings.
I am more than talented you say?
Why thank you,
this is because i started this business
not long after i was born.
Am i wearing a mask right now?
Oh dear, that almost makes me laugh.
Of course i do, several of them,
layered one upon the other.
What does my real face look like?
I think i cannot recall.
And people are not interested in the truth anyway,
Masquerade is so much more fun
So come, come,
i sell you some deception
thats what i do best
