masquerade

I got a hot breath blowing down my neck
Make my skin crawl (skin crawl) make my hair stand up
Substance left inside my head
Keep me in line (In time), telling me if I'm not allowed to
Feel this way or at least don't show it
(Yeah, you gotta image to protect now)
Sell your soul, if you don't, we'll know it

So welcome to the masquerade
We're all trying to fool each other that we're all okay
Dancing with the devil 'round the truth
Paint your smile and hide your face
Keep it prim and proper, there's no stopping this charade
Chant the words like you're supposed to do
I'm fine, how are you?

Tear down all the cathedrals (ooh)
We worship at the altar of ourself
12 hundred little pixels (ooh)
To fake Heaven out of our personal Hell
What's the matter
What's the matter
What's the matter with it?
I'm alone, and she's alone, and we're alone, admit it
But just wait a minute, I think the high is kicking in, oh, oh, oh

So welcome to the masquerade
We're all trying to fool each other that we're all okay
Dancing with the devil 'round the truth
Paint your smile and hide your face
Keep it prim and proper, there's no stopping this charade
Chant the words like you're supposed to do
I'm fine, how are you?

Oh-ooh (yeah), oh
Oh-ooh (I'm fine, yeah)
I'm fine (I'm fine, oh-ooh)
Yeah, I'm fine (I'm fine, oh-ooh)
'Cause I'm fine (how are you, hey?)

And the funny part is, we all see right through
Everybody's mask except our own
'Til we're driving home
And can't convince ourselves we're not really alone
