[Verse 1]
They move like twins in a frame
Same smile, same skin, same name
Backstage dust on a gold-plated tongue
A borrowed face for the cameras hung
I saw the seams in the grin
A little too smooth in the skin
A little too still in the eye
Like somebody learned how to lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what they hide
Behind the pretty shine
Tell me who decides
Who gets to wear the night
[Chorus]
Glass mask parade
Glass mask parade
They all look made
Glass mask parade
Clone by clone
Bone by bone
They eat the script
Then play it home
[Verse 2]
In the pantry, the labels laughed
Red can silence and a black-ink draft
High-rise guests with their polished teeth
Hands in the feast, and the feast beneath
You said the rumor was just a joke
But the room got cold when the curtain broke
Every grin felt stitched too tight
Every promise dressed in borrowed light
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what they hide
Behind the pretty shine
Tell me who decides
Who gets to wear the night
[Chorus]
Glass mask parade
Glass mask parade
They all look made
Glass mask parade
Clone by clone
Bone by bone
They eat the script
Then play it home
[Bridge]
If the feast is people
Then who gets served?
If the king is empty
Why do we still curtsy and swerve?
[Final Chorus]
Glass mask parade
Glass mask parade
They all look made
Glass mask parade
Clone by clone
Bone by bone
They eat the script
Then play it home
Glass mask parade
Glass mask parade
Behind the chrome
They’re all alone
