This Masquerade
Everyone's a liar in this crazy masquerade called life.
All wearing a different disguise,
And never letting on that this is all just a game,
An illusion of the mind
A smooth voice calls out my name
And I know I'm running out of time.
Wake up,
This world is not what they said it would be
Get up, start moving
Danger is coming, we have to be on our feet
Ready for a heart attack
A knife to pierce my back
Let the blood flow freely
I'll miss this place so dearly
This masquerade
No one seems phased that this could be our last day
The end of everything we know
This universe is flawed and corrupt after all
Might as well let it go
So careless, so careless
So naive,
So reckless, So reckless
They don't believe
We could be the ones to stop this madness
To make it end, this sadness
All too relieved
That soon they can leave
And go where?
And go where?
And go where?
Wake up,
This world is not what they said it would be
Get up, start moving
Danger is coming, we have to be on our feet
Ready for a heart attack
A knife to pierce my back
Let the blood flow freely
I'll miss this place so dearly
This masquerade
No one is who they pretend to be
Lying, we're dying
Engulfed in deceit
All too wrapped up in the little, insignificant things
It would take too much work, too much thought,
To become who we are and spread our own wings.
With wings we could fly
Make it farther before we die
Soar in the air
And show everyone how much we care
Turn our dreams alive
Why are we so deprived
Of one original plan, idea
Follow them, they must know the way
We wouldn't want to get lost,
Then we might have to find our own way
That's enough excuses
You're not the one that chooses
What people take you for
An open or a closed door
Is the light shining above your head
Or are you living in darkness, already dead
Wake up,
This world is not what they said it would be
Get up, start moving
Danger is coming, we have to be on our feet
Ready for a heart attack
A knife to pierce my back
Let the blood flow freely
I'll miss this place so dearly
