Masquerade Lyrics - Singles - Reality Check

An urgent sense of regret and now I'm caught in the zone 

My mind arrested by fear and so I go it alone 

A metamorphosis conceived by the early light 

Distraction of self comes out in the night 

Fabricated, I'm constructed of opinions and lies 

Which only leads to failing in my own eyes 

Sinking to the depths while I'm masking what's inside 

A bittersweet existence and I cause my own demise 

And I wonder if you've ever seen life through 

The eyes of one who understands what it mean 

To be free, freedom comes when you can let it go 

But I guess you wouldn't know 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

Mind reflects the meaning to things that are jumbled 

Resting on the first, making time to rehearse 

Intricate persona, controlled animation 

Visually impaired, clinging to pain immersed 

Mentally scarred, cosmetics dripping down 

Life in forward motion, exist in reverse 

Instable at the seams, trying to conform 

Trapped in a maze while sin is at its worst 

And I wonder what your gonna do, when your 

Disguise comes crashing down and yourself 

Comes shining through, are you gonna hide your face? 

Or let it rest in the hands of grace, grace 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

It's such a shame, the game you play 

Congratulations, you're invited to the masquerade 

I'd like to know what lies behind the mask you've made 

Don't hide your face in the masquerade 

Don't play the game, it's a masquerade 

Don't hide your face in the masquerade 

Don't play the game, it's a masquerade
