MASQUERADE

[Verse 1]

I know you do more than watching

Now come down, save me instead

I wish I had not fed my emotions

My brain melts inside my head

My eyes see my mind corrupted

What's left remains of my youth

Silhouettes of sinister phantoms

Watch me as I bury the truth

My heart’s an exemplar of chaos

My expressions are under control

These eyes are crystalline windows

To let light feed a turbulent soul

These constant dances with demons

My recovery is always an act

Every step requires a price paid

With every breath my image is cracked...

[Pre-Chorus]

Cloud your mind tonight

Wear your lies tonight

Hide your face

Hide your face

[Chorus]

Please put on your mask, you won’t be denied

Once you say a word there’s no place to hide

All your friends are here, please don’t be afraid

All this really is is a Masquerade

Masquerade!

[Hook]

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

[Verse 2]

Your chain drags onto the dance floor

Your hands are cleverly tied

We step out on the veranda

Away from the tempest inside

Your veil flickers in starlight

Only your eyes and intents are shown

The mask, it fuses with your skin

And the face resembles your own...

[Pre-Chorus]

Cloud your mind tonight

Wear your lies tonight

Trust no one all night

You will be alright

Hide your face

Hide your face

[Chorus]

Please put on your mask, you won’t be denied

Once you say a word there’s no place to hide

All your friends are here, please don’t be afraid

All this really is is a Masquerade

Masquerade!

[Hook]

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

[Bridge]

And when their faces turn to stone

And the curtain falls

Will they live on to see the rising day?

And when their feet will cease to move

Their skin will decay

And you’ll see when the mask is torn away!

Masquerade...

[Outro]

This is a Masquerade

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade

Masquerade

This is a Masquerade
