Masquerade

Welcome to the masquerade Everybody's got two faces Made mine out of papier-mâché It melted off when it started raining I felt exposed But it felt great I felt like me Oh and everything else just felt so fake Tell me who to be they cried As the crowd gathered round disgusted The same feelings they always kept inside They remember when they could've been trusted Said they felt exposed But somehow great Said they felt like themselves for the first time In a room full of people that were all so fake Ain't it funny how so many of us Spend so much time running in the wrong direction Fall down get turned around Just to find you've been searching for Unrealistic forms of perfection It is what it is you are who you are They try hard to make you change You can lose yourself so easily it seems at the masquerade All it ever does is make you tired Try but you're never gonna please 'em Remember when they were something you admired Now you can't seem to recall the reason Cuz they've been exposed And it feels great You can be yourself for the first time Who cares what they say cuz they're all so fake Yeahhh Ain't it funny how so many of us Spend so much time running in the wrong direction Fall down get turned around Just to find you've been searching for Unrealistic forms of perfection It is what it is you are who you are They try hard to make you change You can lose yourself so easily it seems at the masquerade Welcome to the masquerade Everybody's got two faces Knew I needed to make a change And unlike them I just embraced it Now I'm exposed Never felt so great I am me Oh and everybody else just seems the same Welcome to the masquerade Everybody's got two faces
