Fear taught us to hide
To put on a mask
Until you play your part
When the world starts to break
There's nothing kept secret
That won't come to light
These lies distort my face
Day after day until there's nothing left
Enough! Enough of this
Gotta get out before I suffocate myself
If I could, remember what it means "to be me"
But I keep playing this game
Fighting with myself
And in my mind the war goes on
Thoughts that stir my blood
Painfully straining every nerve
Hey, stop hiding out
I shout to the mirror as I am seeing red
Cause I, I need you to see
That you are the one that's leading the way
Here comes the storm again
Awareness versus system error
Enough! Enough of this
Gotta get out before I suffocate myself
If I could remember what it means "to be me"
But I keep playing this game
Under the mask I am different
Only my mirror knows me now
So tell me, are you ready to see who I really am?
Fighting with myself
And in my mind the war goes on
Thoughts that stir my blood
Painfully straining every nerve
Masquerade
This masquerade
