Slip into your new skin
Obsessing your disguise
Afraid of your scars
You've been around once or twice
Markings from your past
Cover stains upon your feet
Lost in misconception
Where hate and heavens meet
Wake up
You have been lied to
This is a masquerade
Hands are worn and pale
Atrophied and frail
But, once behind your mask
You tell a different tale
Tell me your intentions
For the useless interventions
Covered in doubt
Foot in your mouth
Or, was it just my perception
Wake up
You have been lied to
This is a masquerade
If I could be what I wanted
I'd be a child's tear
You have no safety in numbers
Being alone and in fear
There's nothing left to fight for
Now I can disappear
Wake up
You have been lied to
This is a masquerade
