Masquerade

I was born

To this darkened world

Still I'm flying on broken wings

One I've tried to make a difference

But what's or right or wrong?

I've failed to see

Now I'm trying to remember

Who I'm once were

Who I'm supposed to be

I'm a slave of the darkness

Born to serve

Live to loose

In this God forsaken world

I close my eyes

Wonder if I'm going insane

Hearing voices in the night

Every time I try to rise I fall

Wasted time I lived to please you

Now I'm closing my eyes

For you forever

Every time I stand

Behind these walls

I am trapped behind this surface

Living my life in this masquerade

Dreaming of flying away

Is this really

What this life should bring

Is it all it has to give?

Now I'm wonder in delusion

To feel my life is all that I strive

Once I'm wanted to remember

But I'm not sure that I want to see

The truth of the dark parts

Of my mind that is haunting me

In the God forsaken world

I close my eyes

So many times

I thought of running away

Just to leave it all behind

Every time I try to rise I fall

Wasted time I lived to please you

Now I'm closing my eyes

For you forever

Every time I stand

Behind these walls

I am trapped behind this surface

Living my life in this masquerade

Dreaming of flying away

All my dreams

Where have they gone?

Tried to see the light

To reach out for the sun

Still my heart is beading

But what is left inside

Can't escape the wrath of time

I was born

Into this shattered world

Still I'm flying on broken wings

I'm a slave to the darkness

Born to serve

To live by the rules

In this God forsaken world

I close my eyes

So many times

I thought of running away

Just to leave it all behind

Every time I try to rise I fall

Wasted time I lived to please you

Now I'm closing my eyes

For you forever

Every time I stand

Behind these walls

I am trapped behind this surface

Living in this masquerade

Dreaming of flying away
