Masquerade

Welcome to the masquerade
Where true emotions fade
Welcome to the masquerade
Don't trust, don't feel, just smile, be a doll and wait

Smile for me, oh smile for me
I had this voice: keeps to berate me
Sing for me, oh sing for me
Stay quiet I'll make them happy

Sour emotions and taste intertwine
Bittersweet voice when I say I'm fine
See the glitters around my eyes
Make up cover the tears, and make it nice
My features behind all the layers
Are distorted, breaking after all these years
Hide the pain the show must go on
At home you'll be able to tear it all down

Welcome to the masquerade
Where true emotions fade
Welcome to the masquerade
Don't trust, don't feel, just smile, be a doll and wait

Running I keep running
From the voices of those who are staring
A nightmare in a dream
Is it worth it to see your life from you slipping?

I wish I could leave it all behind
Whether or not I'm smiling I'm not blind
Would you still look at me as if I were your star
If I told who I was - through my avatar
Don't believe in the mirage that I tried
To keep on playing as if it had not died
I don't wish for those two words to collide
Forget all those feelings, keep them Inside

Welcome to the masquerade
Where true emotions fade
Welcome to the masquerade
Don't trust don't feel just smile and be a doll and wait

Hiding I keep hiding
Behind the mask that I've created
Perfect and living
That's the show I have prepared

Hiding, hiding
Behind the mask I've created
Perfect and living
The show I have prepared
Smiling, smiling
I hear this voice: keeps to berate me
Singing, singing
Stay quiet I'll make them happy
