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? |
