Opaque - Nailed To Obscurity

Revealing my true self would make me vulnerable

I keep hiding behind this mask

Not anybody can see my facial features

Not anybody can read my lips

Opaque, sable, intransparent — My impervious lips

The attack from outside won’t ever strike me

Nonrelevant intrinsic values

Collapsing breaker on the sease of wrath

Not anybody can see beneath the surface

Not anybody can read my soul

Opaque, sable, intransparent — My impervious lips

The attack from outside won’t ever hurt me

Winds of throes — Inwardly streaming

Severe tempest behind my opaque mask

A lonely spot for a solitary man

I avoid bad company

Guarding my inner sanctum jealous

If I have to stay alone — I stand this loneliness

Feelings, emotions, thoughts, departed events

Shrouding them, bury them

Deep inside I feel the tears I can’t cry

Like toxic waste that won’t go away

My mask, my guardian, my protection, my plague

Always staying at my sight

Guarding my inner sactum jeulously

Opaque, sable, intransparent — My impervious cover
