Masquerade

I live on the edge. Tip the scales, I never know what'll happen next.

I'm not a daredevil just looking for some thrills.

I'm a survivor who's trying to pay the bills.

Whatever happened to mommy and daddy getting along?

Whatever happened to the family staying strong? Why did my parents split?

Why is my dad dead and gone? Now I'm the provider, but I can only do so much.

I'm human after all, not some superhero who's trying to look and act tough.

Yet I don't have a choice in the matter because my family and I have to live.

If only there was someone who really cared for what I've accomplished, for what I did.

I just want to break away from the masquerade. I'm tired of living a lie.

I'll leave all these fakers behind. God I need you to help me through.

God reveal to me your truth. Help me break away from the masquerade.

My child I hear your cries, I hear your pleas. Submit to me and I will set you free.

You have suffered for so long, yet you befriend these demons as if they could help you hold on.

They say all roads lead to Rome, but I say if you believe in Jesus Christ, he will show you the way home.

No I am not some genie in the bottle. I'm not here to grant your wishes.

I want a relationship with you so you can become free from your sin, become a fisher of men.

I will give you what you need, give you what you long for.

But it's up to you to trust in me, trust that I'll be your loving father.

I know you want to break away from the masquerade.

Stop living this lie and leave all these fakers behind.

I will help you through, and I will reveal my truth to you.

You will break away from the masquerade.

This is a fight, this is war. I face struggles I never had to face before.

Yet here you are by my side. You put up with all the anger I hold inside.

I'm still broken and I'm still scared, yet you have always stayed righ there.

So Lord at your feet, I surrender!

All I want to do is break away!

I just want to break away from the masquerade. I'm tired of living a lie.

I'll leave all these fakers behind. God I need you to help me through.

God reveal to me your truth. Help me break away from the masqurade.
