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.
care to dance- hypnotic lights and sounds have left me in a trance
need a chance- to shed this lie and show inside and leave this mask i wear behind
i see everything in this little world- through my disguise
i'll be anything that I want to be- don't look in my eyes
pain within- i long to be set free from this prison of my sin
will it end- these daunting chains, this taunting pain- i'm about to go insane
i'm sick of the me i see- talking the talk but not walking the walk
i'm sick of the me i see- swayed by the winds of conventional thought
don't want to be a closet Christian
i want to show the world I'm a man on a mission
within me burns a consuming flame
i'm not ashamed of the Name * so how do you like me now
i see everything in this little world * through my disguise
help me be everything that i want to be * and see through Your eyes
care to dance * need a chance * pain within * will it end
