MASQUERADE

EVERY SUNRISE PEOPLE PLAY
THE GAME OF MASQUERADE
MAKE YOURSELF MELT AWAY
FOR ACCEPTANCE THROUGH CHARADE
LIVE A LIE
BE A REPEATER
ADMIT YOUR TOO SHY
TO BE YOUR OWN LEADER
I JUST CANT TAKE IT
BECAUSE EVERYONE FAKES IT
PLAYING MASQUERADE
DAY AFTER FUCKING DAY
EVERY SUNDOWN THE SHOW GOES ON
PUPPETS DANCING IN THE MASQUERADE
ABATING EXISTENCE’S REASON
FOR THE SAKE OF STATUS QUOS PARADE
I JUST CANT TAKE IT BECAUSE EVERYONE FAKES IT
SO JUST HEAR MY WORDS YOU PREY;
STAY FOOTLOOSE AMID THE CROWD
BE REAL, TEAR DOWN YOUR SHROUD
