Masquerade

We change personalities like a deck of cards Shuffle, reshuffle, then deal them out accordingly Our masks dazzling gold and green Cover up this sin for me So no one can see that It's a masquerade, so dance the night away Suits and pearls will hide uncertainty Twirl for me Smile through tears and prove you're so lucky Though your heart breaks through it all Afraid to close my eyes Yet too scared to keep them open World's expectations high No line between grief and greed You say I'm too much You say I'm not enough I say we're all the same down here They know they're too much They know they're not enough And on it goes It's a masquerade, so dance the night away Suits and pearls will hide uncertainty Twirl for me Smile through tears and prove you're so lucky Though your heart breaks through it all One, two, three Is this what it means to be Four, five, six We just bury ourselves for kicks Bury ourselves It's a masquerade, so dance the night away Suits and pearls will hide uncertainty Twirl for me Smile through tears and prove you're so lucky Though your heart breaks through it all I know its hard to stand this tall But they where their masks and dance on
