Masquerade

Welcome to my life
I don't do flashing lights
I cover my eyes
Whenever I improvise
Depends on the day
The character I might play
So hold on to your seat, everybody

I'm a magic man, I use
Distractions and sleight of hand
Do all that you can
To figure out who I am
A flick of the wrist
Vanish into the mist
And fool you once again

I've been putting a face (a face)
So I (So I) can hide
Everything I didn't want (didn't want)
To see (to see) the light
I don't wanna take it off
And lose (and lose) the fight
The game I've always played
Masquerade

Welcome to my mind
You never know who you'll find
Here comes the white knight
He kills himself saving lives
Oh don't look now
Watch out for the dancing clown
He's begging for applause, yeah

Move in the party
Come meet anxiety
He's never asleep
Just doom scrolling quietly
Depression's in bed
He's waiting for me
To kick out all my guests
But I enjoy this mess

Cause I've been putting a face
So I can hide
Everything I didn't want
To see the light
I don't wanna take it off
And lose the fight
The game I've always played

I've been putting a face (a face)
So I (so I) can hide
Everything I didn't want (didn't want)
To see (to see) the light
I don't wanna take it off
And lose (and lose) the fight
The game I've always played
Masquerade

Tonight I'm going to the masquerade
Won't you come with me
To the masquerade
Wear your finest things
To the masquerade
Dance until we're dead
At the masquerade
