They Fit on my Mask
Here the lies were painted
 Where the foreigners danced
 Their veils flowed, my eyes covered
 I sit in dust, they fit on my mask
 
 High walls surround me
 But I am safe in my disguise
 My face becomes anothers
 Not a soul will recognize these lies
 
 They told me I was a Jew
 Their intentions I know not
 their brush strokes Define me
 foreigners rejoice as in the dust I rot
 
 The paint swallowed me whole
 My canvas belonged not to me
 My youth was written by others
 My mask was my identity
 
 Here the lies were painted
 Where the foreigners danced
 Their veils flowed, my eyes covered
 I sit in dust, they fit on my mask
 
 I fell into the emptiness
 my emotions begin their raid
 A moistened tear drifts
 My facade begins to fade
 
 Independence for three
 My head my heart my soul
 I act for the sake of no one
 Foreigners forgotten role
 
 Conformity is a fault
 Hear nothing but my own voice
 Running into the endless night
 Stripped of all else, Natives rejoice
 
 Here
 lies
 
 the foreigners
 Their veils
 
 
  covered
 
 in dust
