Luyện nghe bài hát Masks

(Hammill)

He's a man of the and one of the present,
a man who hides behind a mask a mask;
a clown, a fool, it cool to be down
or that the game is all who laughs the last.

So he tells all his problems to his and relations,
his neuroses to their view.
They accept as fact masochistic mumble of his act--
how they know what was false and what was true?

Sometimes when he
he feels walked into a dream
but all it
to remind him things are what seem
is the belief that the man behind the mask can really

smile
he sees cavorting,
for a while
aborting
to find in the shelter of the dark, most telling mask.

all the pantomimes are ended
he peels all the off his face
to reveal, beneath, the running all down his cheeks:
alone, he opens to the world...but it's too late.
been left, in the end, without a face.
