masquerade

Verse 1
Have you ever seen me?
Have you ever known,
That my soul is made of stone,
And my thoughts are just dying to break free?

And what about my dreams?
What about the things I want,
In dreams that haunt,
My every night, it seems?

-Chorus-
we wear a mask for so long
it consumes us
we wear a mask for so long
it becomes us
we wear a mask
false is true,
we wear a mask
on us it grew,
And who we are is left unasked.

Verse 2
Lies are a world we build
Beneath us, on belief.
Strengthened by grief.
Based on our innocence killed.

And how did these false grounds,
Come together to be real,
‘Til there’s nothing left to reveal?
So the person you were is no longer around.

-Chorus-

Bridge
We all wear these masks for so long,
We don’t realise when the real us has gone,
And been replaced by something wrong.

-Chorus-

Have you ever seen me?
Have you ever known,
That my soul is made of stone,
And my thoughts are just dying to break free?
