I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face You saw something else living under my skin the wolf with no thought of disgrace I know I know some things you must never confess I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot Just like hermann hesse I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess I left my identity back in the theatre Just like hermann hesse You saw my precious mask falling from my face I stood naked in front of you the wolf with no thought of disgrace I know I know some things you must never confess You chose the spirit I chose the flesh Just like hermann hesse Just like hermann hesse
