Just another day's been laid to waste

Exhaustion's draining my remains

All these false intentions clogging up my throat

And yet you swallow every little lie

I hide behind my deceit

Watch the bloom of a life slowly wither

Masquerade

I can't recognize myself, lost in this lie

Maintaining this farce although it's bound to fall apart

I put way too much effort to keep up appearances

Rather than to set up straight what was crooked from the start

I halt until I fade into insignificance

Watch the bloom of a life slowly wither

Masquerade

Another day and I played myself again

How can I bring this to an end?

This masquerade lasted long enough

Ghosts of the past are still haunting me

And I will never escape

It's no use

I'm done running away
