Masquerade - Swing Out Sister

Behind averted eyes

Emotionless

In a web of lies

Forbidden thoughts you keep

Awake you when you sleep

The truth is blind

To your cold deceit

Turning your face away from a truth you’ll never find

Behind this masquerade

Turning your back says much more than words could ever hide

Behind this masquerade

You’ve gone too far

To stop hiding behind this masquerade

A force of evil reigns

As silence stakes its claim

Invisible

As a grieved heart prays

When innocence is lost

Your conscience pays the cost

No sacrifice

Will bring back the past

Playing for time you’ll find tomorrow never comes

Behind this masquerade

Living a lie you’ll soon find what you’ve been running from

Behind this masquerade

You’ve gone too far

To stop hiding behind this masquerade

You’ve gone too far

To stop living behind this masquerade
