Masquerade - Deconbrio

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
