Masquerade - Reality Check Album Version

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 mean
 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, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 It's such a shame, the game you play
 Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 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 its 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, grace
 It's such a shame, the game you play
 Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 It's such a shame, the game you play
 Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 It's such a shame, the game you play
 Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 It's such a shame, the game you play
 Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade
 I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made
 Don't hide your face in the masquerade
 Don't play the game, it's a masquerade
 Don't hide your face in the masquerade
 Don't play the game, it's a masquerade
