Welcome to the Masquerade
Whatever you do, don't be yourself
Not sure how to act without being true?
Well, just pick up this mask and let yourself fade
Welcome to the masquerade
No one is perfect, that much is true
But if you wear this mask nobody will see the real you
Let me make the mouth a bit slier
It helps you look less like an outsider
If you start to feel burdened by this heavy facade
This smile should conceal your hidden fraud
Because even if you seem unconvincing
Nobody can question a false smile without wincing
It may be because they endure the same plight
And talking about it is an agonizing smite
Whatever the reason they won’t dare ask the question
Even if their reticence results in deeper depression
Nobody is brave enough to butcher this silence
We are too weak to muster enough defiance
Everybody is just too afraid
We keep on marching in the masquerade
