Masquerade

Hit the lights
Before tonight
Becomes forever lasting
The ceiling high, the ballroom wide
Full of interesting faces

This masquerade
A back and forth
And the face you were wearing
Without invite
By candlelight
Just motion in the night

As phantoms surround us
Just motion in the night

Fade to black
Break the glass
Silhouettes in the shadows
A shattered scream in a quiet room
This masquerade
A back and forth
And the face you were wearing
The lies are near
Give into fear
Hanging from the chandelier

As phantoms surround us
Just motion in the night

We’re face to face in the midnight shade
The silent signs, we’ll never obey
And in this waltz that fade betrayed
Moments live
And then they stray
In this masquerade

As phantoms surround us
Just motion in the night
