    A song about not being afraid to drop our masks, taking the risk to reveal who we really are - a baalad for acceptance

    Credits: Gav Collinge + revised lyrics unknown

    Story Behind the Song
    Culled from an anonymous piece of prose left behind by a patient at Hamner Springs addiction centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, as an insight into how he thought he could be helped. I put it to music after finding the words inspirational for my own healing.

    Lyrics
    DON”T BE FOOLED BY ME

    Don’t be fooled by me
    Don’t be fooled you what you see
    For I wear a thousand faces
    And none of them are me.
    I dislike the game I’m playing
    and I’d like to show you me
    So if I act like all is well
    Don’t believe me please.

    I may seem secure
    But my surface is my mask
    Beneath lies no complacency
    I’m hiding from that glance.
    But that glance is my salvation
    the look that really knows
    I panic when I see my
    desperation is exposed.

    Each time you’re encouraging (bridge)
    my heart begins to grow
    The love you bring
    grows tiny wings
    so do not let me go.

    I don’t tell you this
    I’m afraid of what you’ll say
    I dislike hiding, honestly
    In this superficial game.
    Each time you’re kind and gentle
    I can come alive
    You can help me drop my mask
    So do not pass me by.

    Who am I you’re wondering
    It isn’t hard to tell
    I’m every man and woman
    That you meet
    You know me well.

    So don’t be fooled by me
    Don’t be fooled by what you see etc…

    So when I act like all is well
    Don’t believe me please
    So when I act like all is well don’t believe me please
    So when I act like all is well
    Don’t believe me please.

    …….out ad lib
