Fear taught us to hide To put on a mask Until you play your part When the world starts to break There's nothing kept secret That won't come to light These lies distort my face Day after day until there's nothing left Enough! Enough of this Gotta get out before I suffocate myself If I could, remember what it means "to be me" But I keep playing this game Fighting with myself And in my mind the war goes on Thoughts that stir my blood Painfully straining every nerve Hey, stop hiding out I shout to the mirror as I am seeing red Cause I, I need you to see That you are the one that's leading the way Here comes the storm again Awareness versus system error Enough! Enough of this Gotta get out before I suffocate myself If I could remember what it means "to be me" But I keep playing this game Under the mask I am different Only my mirror knows me now So tell me, are you ready to see who I really am? Fighting with myself And in my mind the war goes on Thoughts that stir my blood Painfully straining every nerve Masquerade This masquerade
