Lyrics
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.
You never show yourself
You're living in disguise
You keep on runnin'
And you'll run until you die
Someday you'll realize
You made a great mistake
The devil in your eyes
You're just a big fat fake
Break down the falls
Drop the false facade
Always in Disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin' to hide your eyes
In the Masquerade
Why?
You can't be running around
Hiding behind your mask
You can't be shooting straight
Is that too much to ask
You played me for a fool
But thefool was always you
You tried to be so cool
But it was never true
Break down the falls
Drop the false facade
Always in Disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin' to hide your eyes
In the Masquerade
Break down the falls
Drop the false facade
Always in Disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin' to hide your eyes
In the Masquerade
Why?
