Dance of a Thousand Masks

Welcome to the grand indictment

Blur your skin, you're all invited

Let's go where the aura's blinding

And we all move with liquid timing

Let's brave the night that's bound to crash

This is the dance of a thousand masks

And watch the fall of our romance

This is the dance of a thousand masks

I noticed you shining through the sea

A thousand eyes that can't see me

The glass will overturn as beauty becomes the prey

And as I smile I watch you laugh

Missing problems from the past

I know that you'll believe anything I

Say I want you

Say I need you

This is what you want

This is what you get

Take your drug tonight

Lust and cigarettes

Inhibition's gone

I want to forget

You wont sleep tonight

You will soon be...

I'm okay now, but every word you choose to say

Will die with me forever so

Close your eyes, and take some time

To think of something clever

Dance in the oil fields

Paint the words too surreal

Stuck to your violet midnight dreams

With silken lies that I've spun

My consolation, I'll regret everything I've

Done to myself

Inject you with my hell

Take your drug tonight

(This is the way it has to be)

This mixture dies with light

(For reasons we weren't meant to see)

Dance! This is the dance of a thousand

Open your eyes

Masks! This is the dance of a thousand

Regret every second

I noticed you shining through the sea

A thousand eyes that can't see me

So cover your tracks and just keep running

I'm okay now, but every word you choose to say

Will die with me forever so

Close your eyes, and take some time

To think of something clever

This is my mask, cheap shining trash

Underneath is the face of a coward

This is my mask, cheap shining trash

Underneath is the face of a liar
