Masked Man

So I wrote this for a Ska project I was working on. The words were spoken as I don't sing! But I thought I might give you vocalists/ rappers/ toasters etc out there the opportunity to do something creative with them. Hip hop maybe? Folk? Rock anything goes! Feel free to cut and add as you wish.

Masked man

Intro
Masked man
I am a masked man
A man in a mask

Verse I ( short)
And on the street
I don’t greet you
when I meet you
Just a masked man

Chorus
I Cover my face
to the human race

But my eyes
tell you no lies
You see a masked man

Verse II
I
For a while now
You don’t see me smile now
I cover my face
My mask is in place
I am a masked man
Just a masked man
II
my expression of depression
Is hidden behind.
What’s on my mind?
Again that’s hidden behind
I am a masked man

Chorus
I Cover my face
to the human race

But my eyes
tell you no lies
You see a masked man

Bridge

Muffled talk on my walk, there’s muffled talk on my walk. Muffled talk on my walk. Muffled talk on my walk.


Verse III

I
Not a confession
There’s no transgression
I am a masked man
Just to remind remind you
What was behind you

ii
So I take It on on the chin
Cos it’s a sin to grin
I am a masked man
Yes a masked man

Outro
I don’t get you
you don’t get me

This captive is reflective
A Negative incentive
A cover up directive
To the non receptive

You don’t see me smile

A man in a mask!
