This masquerade of

highs and lows

Will mess your mind

And steal your soul

In all this confusion

I still don’t know

Why this far in life

I have nothing to show

 

Chew me up and

Spit me out

It’s all a game

That’s what it’s about

You think you’ve won

But still you lose

It’s your fate

For which you choose

 

Looking ahead? No!

Don’t look back-

It’’ll drive you insane

If you allow the attack

Remember Child~

All that you have learnt

Before defeat

Has left you burnt

 

Ashes to ashes

And dust to dust

You want to die

But live you must

It’s not so bad

This masquerade

Just live your life

In this hole you’ve made
