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
