Masquerade

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...

Cloud your mind tonight
Wear your lies tonight
Hide your face
Hide your face...

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!

Masquerade
This is a Masquerade
Masquerade
This is a Masquerade

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...

Cloud your mind tonight
Wear your lies tonight
Trust no one all night
You will be alright
Hide your face
Hide your face...

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!

Masquerade
This is a Masquerade
Masquerade
This is a Masquerade

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!

This is a Masquerade
Masquerade
This is a Masquerade
Masquerade
This is a Masquerade
Masquerade
This is a Masquerade
