Masquerade

An urgent sense of regret and
 now I'm caught in the zone
 My mind arrested by fear and
 so I go it alone
 A metamorphosis conceived
 by the early light
 Distraction of self comes out
 in the night
 Fabricated I'm constructed of
 opinions and lies
 Which only leads to failing
 in my own eyes
 Sinking to the depths while
 I'm masking what's inside
 A bittersweet existence and
 I cause my own demise
 And I wonder if you've ever seen
 Life through the eyes of
 one who
 Understands what it means
 to be free
 Freedom comes when you can
 let it go
 But I guess you wouldn't know
 It's such a shame the game
 you play
 Congratulations your invited
 to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies
 behind the mask you've made
 My mind reflects the meaning
 to things that are jumbled
 Resting on the first making
 time to rehearse
 Intricate persona controlled
 animation
 Visually impaired clinging
 to pain immersed
 Mentally scarred cosmetics
 dripping down
 Life in forward motion exist
 in reverse
 Instable at the seams trying
 to conform
 Trapped in a maze while sin
 is at it's worst
 And I wonder what your
 gonna do
 When your disguise comes
 crashing down
 And yourself comes shining
 through
 Are you gonna hide your face
 Or let it rest in the hands
 of grace
 Don't hide your face in the
 masquerade
 Don't play the game it's
 a masquerade
