Unmasked!

Rain beats down, down on the outer walls Down on the skylight, where the streetlights Shine like unquenchable coals And I'm up high, trying to say goodbye The only way I know how Crude and graceless Peeking through the eyeholes Seeing the real you And just after midnight When it feels like it's getting late I will reveal you I will reveal you Crowd's half-gone, just a few hangers-on Come to see me finally tear through the stitching at last And you don't care, you look almost relieved down there Like you're free, like you can breathe now Like they've sawn off your cast Just one more sleeper to see through And by way of honoring The things we once both held dear I will reveal you I Will reveal you Cast of thousands But we were the real two And when I'm alone Before a mirror late at night I will reveal you --- Unmasked! - The Mountain Goats
