Masquerade - Axe

I’m living in a masquerade and I

I grew up in a time that was quite aimless

No one told me where to turn but they

Told me, boy, the fire would burn but it’s painless

They told me what was right and wrong and they

Harped upon it much too long for my taste

They tried to tell me where to go and don’t

Ever let your feelin’s show it’s such a waste

Oh, it’s a masquerade

Oh, it’s a masquerade

I’m living in a masquerade and I

I’m noticing that everyone feels blameless

Preparing for the fight ahead, will

I come out alive or dead or nameless?

They told me how it used to be

Expecting everyone to see through their eyes

They tried to tell me where to go and don’t

Ever let your feelin’s show, it’s such a waste

Oh, it’s a masquerade

Oh, it’s a masquerade
