Take off your mask
I am not going to laugh
I want to see
Your strangeness
Your uniqueness
Take off your mask
I want to know you
The furrows of your brow
The laughlines on your mouth
What makes you tick
Would you like to pick my brain?
I assure you
I'm harmless
I just want to see the face
Behind the mask.
We share something special
A common ache
A loneliness
So take off your mask
Here...
Take my hand.
-Ami de Manila
