Artist: bauhaus
Song: mask
Year: 1986
The man of shadows thinks in clay
Dreamed trapped thoughts of suffocation days
He's seen in iron environments
With plastic sweat out of chiseled slits for eyes
From the growth underneath the closed mouth
You'll catch if you listen rack trapped cubist vowels
From a dummy head expression
From a dummy head expression
Transformation is invested
With the mysterious and the shameful
While the thing I am becomes somethin' else
Part character, part sensation
The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast
The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast
The shadow is cast, the shadow is cast
