The Masquerade

Welcome to the masquerade

Could have the world in your hand but it's full of empty space
Another day another dollar no matter how the collar tastes
A thousand likes a million followers
Still hollow and misplaced
Preach progress, progress but we're frozen in place
What kind of people do we breed in the world
Where Flea and Josh have to unplug their guitars to be heard
I ain't buying it my mind it finds the meaning absurd
For the people by the people who can't breathe a word

Come to the masquerade
Hear the screams of the empty meet the souls of the damned
Stay 'til no one remembers your name
Welcome to the masquerade

They've got the lies they disguise and the secrets they keep
Can't reach the bottom of the barrel from the top of the heap
You either fade out like they tell you to or you die in your sleep

Come to the masquerade
Hear the screams of the empty

Come to the masquerade
Hear the screams of the empty meet the souls of the damned
Stay 'til no one remembers your name
Welcome to the masquerade
