Masquerade (Live)

Well I'm up for 36
And I'm down for 12
In a red-eyed haze
But know I'm not blazed
I'm high on drifting by
Barely touching down on life
Is a new dawn still another day
If I haven't slept in 38
I wish I could empty my mind
Bid these failures goodbye

But I'll keep up my masquerade
Where everything is quite okay
While this tempest rages on inside
It's getting to that point
Where I lose control (And if I fall)

Would you catch me this time
Cos I don't know if I will
Survive again
These lines have set in
Tracing cracks of heartache
On my skin
It's not the first time
I've felt this strange
But I thought it would fade away with age
Seems it's here to stay
Got me searching desperately
For a change

If I could do it all again
Live life from start to end
With no regrets
Well I wouldn't take that chance
And risk a second time
In miserable existence
If I could do it all again
Live life from start to end
With no regrets
Well I wouldn't take that chance
And risk a second time
In miserable
In miserable existence

It's time I lose control
And let the walls break down
I'm sick of this fight
Battling through life
Don't want to do it anymore
Because you're gone
There's no one left
To calm the storm
Behind the stone façade
There's no peace
No still place
I've got to let the tempest rage
It's time I lose control

So I'll keep up my masquerade
Where everything is quite okay
While this tempest rages on inside
It's getting to that point
Where I lose control
