[Verse 1]
Welcome to the mornin’
Slip on your mask and get on with your performin’
Don’t let them know that you’re alone and hurtin’
Don’t let them know that your thoughts are disturbin’
Get on with the show
Yeah welcome to the evenin’
Take off your mask cuz you know that they believed it
And when they ask, say you’re doing just dandy
Hide the wounds and the scars in the brandy
(Get on with the show)
Your life should be joyful, just flash us a smile
Cuz you’ve been so loyal to see it all through
But today it’s impossible to keep your facade up
And written in marble your doomsday appears
You’re in need of salvation
A hiding place where your soul can be free
From the pain and the sorrows, the crowd and the gallows
A beacon of light gives you one final plea
[Chorus]
The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead
And though you’re in dismay
You gotta push on anyway
Just catch your balance
And fall into the cognitive dissonance
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the ashes
Set ablaze by the pressure given by the masses
The water you need you fear cuz once you’d fallen through
The crashing waves overtook and paralyzed you
Just say you’re alright
Welcome to the skyline
Nothing really matters in the end cuz we all die
Eventually so what’s the point of anything
The fire has died now, you barely survived now
Your demons were this close to snatching your soul
Though what happens next if it happens again
And the date on your tombstone has too strong a pull
You’re in need of salvation
A hiding place where your soul can be free
From the pain and the sorrows, the crowd and the gallows
A beacon of light gives you one final plea
[Chorus]
The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead
And when you’ve lost all hope
The King’s still on His throne
Embrace the madness
And fall into the cognitive dissonance
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
The moon assails the day
The sun bursts through the gray
The living walk as dead
And the lifeless find their life instead
And when you’ve lost all hope
The King’s still on His throne
Embrace the madness
And fall into the cognitive dissonance
