HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Once again I've felt inspired by the spooky season to write a new EP. Masks - EP tackles a variety of horror and ghost stories but in this, the title track, the subject turns to a more realistic look at the nature of two-faced people and the struggles of coming to terms with one's true self instead of facing life with a well-tailored "mask."
The artwork is done by the amazing ABluSkittle!

Lyrics:
Creeping eyes from across this masquerade
Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades
Dead inside, try to hide behind
And shake the tremors
Hiding with a smile in a crowded place
Emoting through the lips of a plastic face
Every word just a code that screams
I'm owned by terror
Are you scared to see what lies beneath
Behind these artificial teeth
Through the guilty strings this mask
Controls its wearer
Trapped in our own disguises
Cut free but soulless still
Our dreams are haunted by the
Ghosts we kill
Identities of silence
In search of cheaper scares
We're all surrounded by the
Masks we wear
Vilified for deeds done in the light
Hiding away within plain sight
These cloaks are keeping safe
The secret faces
Terrified of making one mistake
Narrow mind 'till the soul begins to break
We are just husks seeking
The world's false graces
Awake within the moment
Asleep throughout our lives
We suffer in this torment
Ensnared in our own lies
In facelessness we're equal
When we're not even there
You're someone underneath this
Behind the mask you wear
