Slip into your new skin Obsessing your disguise Afraid of your scars You've been around once or twice Markings from your past Cover stains upon your feet Lost in misconception Where hate and heavens meet
Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade
Hands are worn and pale Atrophied and frail But, once behind your mask You tell a different tale Tell me your intentions For the useless interventions Covered in doubt Foot in your mouth Or, was it just my perception
Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade
If I could be what I wanted I'd be a child's tear You have no safety in numbers Being alone and in fear There's nothing left to fight for Now I can disappear
Wake up You have been lied to This is a masquerade
