The Masquerade

(Verse 1)

A sea of faces, I can't breathe the air

A million eyes watching, but don't know I'm here

Lost in the static of a stranger's sound

No path for the soul on this hollow ground

The music cuts, the bass a funeral drum

Another night under a burning sun

(Chorus)

Drowning in the flood, nobody sees the fall

Alone in the room, running into a wall

Screaming in silence, the echo starts to fade

Just a moving shadow in the masquerade

Am I even real? Does anyone care?

Lost in a crowd of strangers who glare

(Verse 2)

Every smile a mask, a calculated lie

Just signs of the void in every passing eye

They move to the rhythm of a life undefined

Another scripted scene, another paradigm

The lights are burning in the back of my mind

Leaving every piece of me far behind

(Chorus)

Drowning in the flood, nobody sees the fall

Alone in the room, running into a wall

Screaming in silence, the echo starts to fade

Just a moving shadow in the masquerade

Am I even real? Does anyone care?

Lost in a crowd of strangers who glare

(Bridge)

The noise, a confession, but not my own

A city full of people, sad and alone

Searching for the surface, to find a sign

there's something more to this cruel design

But every touch is hollow, every glance is cold

Just a silent story waiting to be told

(Breakdown)

Disappear.

I am nobody.

See what you see.

Erase me.

Let me go.

Let me be the silence!

The feedback of pain!

The empty space, the drops of acid rain!

I want to vanish!

I want to be gone!

Before the light of this world is drawn!

(Outro)

Lost in the crowd.

Lost in the sound.

Lost in the...

Nothing.

Lost in the nothing
