Masquerade

I never though I'd find my way back to your front door

Black paint and broken picture frames strewn across the floor

I tore the room apart to find your name beneath the layers of the sane



You're so confused when we're apart

How clever is the man

Who spends a lifetime counting cards

To never show his hand

In the quiet I can feel your shame

A faint familiar barricade



I can't see you

I don't hear you call

What am I fighting for?



You know I wonder who you are when I'm not around

A king, for queen, who pays a part, or loyal in your crown

Through the doorway I see nothing's changed

the shadow of the masquerade



I don't need you

It's just been so long

How did it all go wrong?



I guess it's how the story goes...



Don't come back, I need you

Go away, I'll leave you

Hide your heart, I'll cheat you

Don't false start, I'll beat you



Through the doorway I see nothing's changed the shadow of the masquerade
