The mask
This song is about a very shy guy who becomes someone else when he paints his face and dresses as a clown at the circus. He takes medicine and goes to a psychiatrist to try and overcome his shy persona.

I have now changed
the paint is on
I go from shy
to act the fool
I feel the pain
of being alone
the girls I cannot
talk to
I am so sad
and that is bad
I play the fool
some think it's cool
to work at Klondike Circus
I laugh and joke
to please the crowds
they do not see
behind the mask
The paint comes off
and I return
to hiding from the people
I sit at home
and all alone
please help me
find a woman
I hope someday
and always pray
to change my shy persona
The meds they help
the Doctors couch
I feel it's getting better
Just another night
the happy faces
all inside the big top
The mask is on
I act the fool
someday I will be normal
