Cognitive Dissonance

Welcome to the morning
Slip on your mask and get on with your performing
Don't let them know that you're alone and you're hurting
Don't let them know that your thoughts are disturbing
Get on with the show

Yeah welcome to the evening
Take off your mask cuz you know that they believed it
And when they ask, say you're doing just dandy
Hide the wounds and the scars in the brandy
Get on with the show

Your life should be joyful, just flash us a smile
Cuz you've been so loyal to see it all through
But today it's impossible to keep your façade up
And written in marble your doomsday appears

You're in need of salvation
A hiding place where your soul can be free
From the pain and the sorrows, the crowd and the gallows
A beacon of light gives you one final plea
Final plea

The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead

And though you're in dismay
You got to push on anyway
Just catch your balance
And fall into the cognitive dissonance

Welcome to the ashes
Set ablaze by the pressure given by the masses
The water you need you fear cuz once you'd fallen through
The crashing waves overtook and paralyzed you
Just say you're alright

Welcome to the skyline
Nothing really matters in the end
Cuz we all die eventually
So what's the point of anything

The fire has died now, you barely survived now
Your demons were this close to snatching your soul
Though what happens next if it happens again
And the date on your tombstone has too strong a pull

You're in need of salvation
A hiding place where your soul can be free
From the pain and the sorrows, the crowd and the gallows
A beacon of light gives you one final plea
Final plea

The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead

And when you've lost all hope
The King's still on His throne
Embrace the madness
And fall into the cognitive dissonance

The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead

And when you've lost all hope
The King's still on His throne
Embrace the madness
And fall into the cognitive dissonance
