Masquerade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't look straight at you my dear
You will smell my fear
Hold on to my slippery heart
Don't press too hard
You crush like a tidal wave
I never had the words to say
Put your tail between your legs
Tell me what you really mean
You never say what you really mean
Chorus:
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like you've gotta let to say
Like there's something underneath
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like it's never you
Like there's someone else to blame
Are chemicals reacting like drugs?
Teeth, they're shaking but it's not love
I'm a light drag and you're a plug
You are my friend
I'm not so friendly anymore
Put your tail between your legs
Tell me what you really mean
You never say what you really mean
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like you've gotta let to say
Like there's something underneath
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like it's never you
Like there's someone else to blame
You want to read right our history
You want open the truth
Looks like you want it too
Woo
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like you've gotta let to say
Like there's something underneath
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like it's never you
Like there's someone else to blame
You masquerade like
You're unique
Like you've gotta let to say
Like there's something underneath
(i can't look straight at you my dear)
You masquerade like
(you will smell my fears)
You're unique
(hold on to my slippery heart)
Like it's never you
(don't press too hard)
Like there's someone else to blame
