The Masquerade of the Saris Lyrics by Rose with Teeth

The Idols Have Been Cast Down and Rent

2018

I ask myself every day:
'Am I wearing a mask for a play?
And is the mask of a girl or a boy?'
This agony gives me no joy
It's a question of my heart:
'Shall I stay or should I restart?'
So many broken years
So many needless tears
As they call me to harm
I'm bleeding from my arm
Red like roses, these scars
Will meet in falling stars
I wear a masculine mask
And to wear it is quite a task
For I am a lady beneath
And soon I will unsheathe
Shame and doubt plague my soul
And confusion takes its toll
Trapped in my very own flesh
What am I but a wretch?
I dressed as a girl when I was alone
As if I was to atone
For the dissonance in my mind
How could I have been so blind?
Who I am I still can't tell
But I know I'm climbing out of this hell
To live as the lady I was born to be:
Winged, unconfined, boundless, and free
