Bernard Snyder - 'Shhh'

It seems I'm wearing an ugly mask
and playing a different part,
I want to show you off to my friends
but we have to hide in the dark,
those who knows criticize our judgements
and think we've lost our minds,
they look at our age difference
and say this can't be by design,
to some degree they have a point
but life has different stages,
what you and I seem to enjoy
other folks think is crazy,
so now we find ourselves being looked at
because you left the door ajar
you asked other people their opinions
and things got way too bizarre,
so now, the one thing we can do
being that everyone else seem to have lost it,
in order for us to keep enjoying the ride
let's keep what we do in the closet.
