Masquerade

My favorite game to play as a kid was hide and seek

And looking back, I understand why

I wasn’t, so much a big fan of tag or cops & robbers

But something about hiding

In anticipation of being found was kind of

Like the most exciting thing to me as a child

It’s almost like I wanted to get caught, wanted to be found

I was always a shy kid

It’s like I had an imaginary mask that I always hid behind

It gave me a sense of comfort

And now being, you know,

“Grown” that mask has took on like so many new personalities

And at this point, uh, you know

I'm kinda done with the masquerade and-

I feel like it’s time to take that mask off
