Masquerade
Hey, yeah, oh...

Born out of deep condemnation
They're wiping my heart off of their shoes
Trying just to please everyone who sees
Listening to their point of view

Took me to the local department store
Had a sale on humble pie
Trying to pay the cost
Winning from the loss
Oh, you know how hard I have tried

When you start to judge somebody else
Oh, no, no
You only see reflections of yourself

Masquerade is the game they play
Never time just to take a look inside
Masquerade through another day
Never see if the life they live's a lie

Slowly there's a change in the motive
Vision starts to fade from view
No more black or white
No more wrong or right
Only what's convenient to do
When you start to judge somebody else
Ooh...
You only see reflections of yourself

Masquerade is the game they play
Never time just to take a look inside
Masquerade through another day
Never see if the life they live's a lie

Masquerade is the game they play
Never time just to take a look inside
Masquerade through another day
Never see if the life they live's a lie

Masquerade in the things they talk
Masquerade in the way the walk
Masquerade in their attitude
And the things that they do

Masquerade is the game they play
Never time just to take a look inside
Masquerade through another day
Never see if the life they live's a lie
Masquerade
