Where have you been?

Been searching all along

Came facing twilight on and on

Without a clue

Without a sign

Without grasping yet

The real question to be asked

Where have I been?

I'm a shape shifter

At Poe's masquerade

Hiding both face and mind

All free for you to draw

I'm a shape shifter

What else should I be?

Please don't take off my mask

Revealing dark

Moments of calm

Nothing left to be found

A mirror right in front of me

That's where I find

An empty glass

Reflecting the sad truth

It's telling words not to be told

I need the mask

I'm a shape shifter

At Poe's masquerade

Hiding both face and mind

All free for you to draw

I'm a shape shifter

Chained down to my core

Please don't take off my mask

My place to hide

I can't tell you

How to see me

Nest a cage of bones

There's nothing inside

Will it unleash me?

Burning down whole the walls

Is there a way

For me to break?

I'm a shape shifter

At Poe's masquerade

Hiding both face and mind

All free for you to draw

I'm a shape shifter

Have no face to show

Please don't take off my mask

My disgu
