Masquerade

Following the flow of time
Blind to the root of an ancient crime
Now death waits in his dark disguise
Its hidden rules forever inscribed

Inside, these layers of existence
Unite, in a primal life
Define, the path of persistence
Let omniscience be my guide

So cynical, that I can't stand it anymore
This blind mistrust of everything that's not you
In your mind, man is bad to the core
Thoughts become reality and lies become true

But what is it that guides us?
Why is everyone supposed to lie?
If we were more critical,
Would that change our minds?

Here I am now
Standing so close to the fall
But are you even listening
Will my words change anything?

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain

Evolution is blind
So we're flawed at most
So I hope that at one point
You will be the scapegoat

It's so easy to claim
that man is bad at the core
But who would dare to say
That they are better than all

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain

I'm done with this masquerade
You've become everything you hate
I'm done with the old charade
I accept that everything I do is in vain
