Selfish 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.
If I say, "It's alright..."
Do you believe me, or know that I'm lying?
"It's ok, it's all right, it'll get done, just not tonight, no not tonight..."
But you know that I'm lying
On and on you'll see it
You'll waste your time believing
The waiting will just drive you insane
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me, believe in me
When I say, "It's all right..."
I believe it; I don't know that I'm lying
"It's ok, it's all right, you'll get out, just not tonight, no not tonight..."
Well I know that you're tired
On and on you'll see it
You'll waste your time believing
The waiting will just drive you insane
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me, believe in me
Cause this is my selfish masquerade
I'll tell you what you want to hear, it comes easily to me
And this is my selfish masquerade
I'll tell you what you want to hear, it comes easily to me
On and on you'll see it
You'll waste your time believing
The waiting will just drive you insane
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me
These castles of sand are leaving bloodstains on my hands
Just don't you dare believe in me, believe in me
