The Masquerade - Adestria

Welcome to the show

Please don’t look at me, I can’t bear to show you what’s underneath

You wear a mask to shield us from who you really are

It’s no surprise they idolize you, they think it’s true that you’re a star

You define your life by the beast that you project

Oh, what a facade.

No shame!

No respect!

You’re on the stage, you play out your part

You’re life’s a party, but you’ve got no heart

Every time I scream, every word I say, it’s all a piece of me that I leave up,

that I leave up on the stage

This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you’d fooled

Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through

You’d have them worship you

Who do you think you are?

You came in to suck the life from this room

Those easily swayed were the first to go

Made sure that all eyes were on you

You’re not happy till you steal the show

Every time I scream, every word I say, it’s all a piece of me that I leave up,

that I leave up on the stage

This is just to let you know from those of us you thought you’d fooled

Every emotion that you fake is just another lie that I see through

I’m no angel.

We all have horns

I’ll never stand on high.

I wear no crown of thorns

I’ll drink my whiskey, and burn a cigarette, but I refuse to define myself by

the nights that I forget

You won’t take me

I see through your hollow words

You are a fake
