Lyrics The Masquerade - Adestria

The Masquerade

Welcome to the show
Please don’t look at me, I can’t bear to show you what’s underneath
You wear a mask to shield us from who you really are
It’s no surprise they idolize you, they think it’s true that you’re a star
You define your life by the beast that you project
Oh, what a facade.
No shame!
No respect!
You’re on the stage, you play out your part
You’re life’s a party, but you’ve got no heart
Every time I scream, every word I say, it’s all a piece of me that I leave up,
that I leave up on the stage
This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you’d fooled
Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through
You’d have them worship you
Who do you think you are?
You came in to suck the life from this room
Those easily swayed were the first to go
Made sure that all eyes were on you
You’re not happy till you steal the show
Every time I scream, every word I say, it’s all a piece of me that I leave up,
that I leave up on the stage
This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you’d fooled
Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through
I’m no angel.
We all have horns
I’ll never stand on high.
I wear no crown of thorns
I’ll drink my whiskey, and burn a cigarette, but I refuse to define myself by
the nights that I forget
You won’t take me
I see through your hollow words
You are a fake
