Masquerade (release)

Lyrics

Walking alone / through this crowded hall / I’m feeling nothing / but torn up and small smiles on faces / the people passing by / their mindless oasis / and all the while I’m looking for a place to hide / with someone who understands / what I’m feeling inside I’m running and I’m losing breath / I don’t know if I / can go much longer / but I’ll try to put upon my face / my mask of dignity / I’ll laugh and smile / promise I won’t cry / I won’t show you exactly / who I really am / and I won’t let you inside I’ll leave you in the dark / I’ll make you ignorant / so you can live your life / blissfully / still fantasizing / we’re the best of friends / but the truth is / you don’t even know me everyday / the same routine / I’m living a lie / and I want to come clean what would you say / to starting again / knowing the real me / would you be my friend I’m dancing in this masquerade / I keep losing my step / could you help me off the floor / I’m crying now and all I want / is to get out of here / could you show me / to the door to a place where I can run / where I can hide my face / a place where I can / be myself / a neverland where I don’t have to / be worrying / with the thoughts of anyone else could you trace back all my footsteps / to the beginning / show me what / I didn’t see / did I do all the changing / was it just me / cause the truth is / you don’t even know me I’m better off alone / you don’t even know me
