lyrics
ELECTRIC MASQUERADE by unknown
Redemption
Dancing in the masquerade
Idle truth in plain sight
Jaded
pop, roll, click, shot
Who will I be today or not?
Fasten masks concealing unknown
Mysterious faces chosen to be shown
Plastic smiles
Heartless thank you
I love you
I see faces in the mirror
Who I haven’t a clue
From cracks in the facade
Only reveal the charade
A foundation that needs repair
Wallowing in quiet despair
Futile search in a world gone sour
Arrows of escape bear no flower
Imprisoned in an uncomfortable cage
Do all lead to drugs, alcohol, and rage?
Foamy rosy gilded prisons of lies
Futile locks of controlled men buys
Offering no security
Securely holding captives
Fear of rejection silences objection
Undercover of spreading darkness
Behind tightly closed doors bless
Enchanting guise of guilt weaver
Succeeding only to beguile the deceiver
Focused through the pain
Cleared by delicate humble rain
Still beauty worth preserving
Simple appeal made unnerving
These precious things under coats of wings
Value held shame
Forgotten in game
Living a beautiful destructive role
Fragile life
A more precious goal
All wealth can be taken in seconds
