Masquerade Lyrics

Lunic Masquerade

I never thought I'd find my way
back to your front door
Black paint and broken picture frames
strewn across the floor
I tore the room apart to find your name
beneath the layers of the sane

You're so confused when we're apart
How clever is the man
who spends a lifetime counting cards
to never show his hand?
In the quiet I can feel your shame
A faint familiar barricade

I can't see you
I don't hear you call
What am I fighting for?

You know I wonder who you are
when I'm not around
A king, for queen, who plays a part
or loyal in your crown
Through the doorway I see nothing's changed
the shadow of the masquerade

I don't need you
It's just been so long
how did it all go wrong?

I guess it's how the story goes...

Don't come back, I need you
Go away, I'll leave you
Hide your heart, I'll cheat you
Don't false start, I'll beat you

Through the doorway I see nothing's changed
the shadow of the masquerade
