Man in the shadow of himself.
it was himself he thought he saw
but it was not himself
that he saw
But it was the mask of himself
that he saw
This mask keeps him in
the shadow of himself
His spirit alive
within so powerful
it cannot be looked upon
His spirit takes no hostages
Simpson
knows his spirit and it knows
him
but no one else knows
The mask for his lifetime
would never be removed
It would flee
before being captured
Unable to tolerate
the truth and its light
It stays on the run!

Mask of Simpson
When Simpson looked in the mirrorit was himself he thought he saw
but it was not himself
that he saw
But it was the mask of himself
that he saw
This mask keeps him in
the shadow of himself
His spirit alive
within so powerful
it cannot be looked upon
His spirit takes no hostages
Simpson
knows his spirit and it knows
him
but no one else knows
The mask for his lifetime
would never be removed
It would flee
before being captured
Unable to tolerate
the truth and its light
It stays on the run!
