Within A Mask Lyrics

I can hear my heartbeat, racing in my chest
I can feel myself looking at you, staring past the rest

But notice me you don't
And misery it brings
As I feel intense pain
Just from hearing your name

So can't you at least see me through
Give me just one chance
Because I'd give my life for you
Take your love into my hands

Trapped in reality, it feels like Hell
Into the abyss of love, I believe I fell

It's like death without you
I want to wither away
Blown in the dust
Because you led me astray

So watching you now, I know Heaven is true
Because only Heaven can compare to you

Because I'm hiding my hurt
From the ones for whom I care
Behind the ebony door of despair

Because with just a single thought of you
I just simply have to ask...
Must I veil this hidden love
Deep within a mask?
