So is it everything

Have you achieved all that you hoped for?

Eternity in dance behind a closed door

I hope it's quite as you had

Pictured it

Worth every fray of

Soul you left behind with every floor

Was this the prize for

The gamble you played

Selling your heart to

The nearest hungry shade

The only vendor that would

Accept your form of payment

Beckoning for every cent

Of currency you had to your name

Such simple elegance seems

To satisfy this craving

But monsters never sleep

And merchants never cease

Reaching for true release

They come when you have left the

Masquerade

With some new demon standing in the way

No easy attribution

What master do you serve?

What would you have me learn?

Your victory was earned

But there's a road beyond the

Masquerade

Dresses and centerpieces on display

Were only the reflection

Of a starting line

You'll understand in time

This war was yours to fight

You're not alone but when the

Masquerade

Has fallen down and there's a move to make

You have to make the first one

Redraw the line you crossed

Reclaim the soul you lost

Give everything you've got

One day you will be okay
