The Masquerade |
| Think of the people you meet every day |
| Think of the characters they try to portray |
| They hide what they’re thinking hide what they feel |
| In an age of hypocrisy nothing is real |
| Faces are just curtains of stone |
| That hides their true feelings till they’re alone |
| Who can you say that you really know? |
| You see only the façade they wish to show |
| Is it that they are weak or afraid? |
| They live out their lives in this masquerade |
| They are all clowns behind a painted smile |
| They tried to enchant, persuade or beguile |
| Faceless with no thoughts or ideals |
| Transparent reflections, nothing is real |
| They cling to their idols echo their lives |
| But it’s only a front, a place they can hide |
| Their own minds suppressed from birth to the grave |
| Enacting their lives in this masquerade |
| I look at myself am I the same |
| I try to find out if I play the game |
| Which side of my soul does everyone see? |
| The face that I show is it really me? |
| There’s no way of knowing if I play a part |
| Is my true self left in the dark? |
| Am I for real, or what I am made? |
| Or am I just part of this masquerade? |
