Reality Check – Masquerade

Lyrics Masquerade – 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 means 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
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
My 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
Unstable at the seams, trying to conform
Trapped in a maze while sin is at it’s worst
And I wonder what you’re gonna do

When your disguise comes crashing down and your self comes shining through
Are you gonna hide your face
Or let it rest in the hands of grace
Grace
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

Such a shame the game you play
Congratulations you’re invited to the masquerade
I’d like 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
