#6 this is a masquerade

Masquerade, everyday new face,
Masquerade, it’s like a game, like a race,
Masquerade, what’s happening behind the mask?
Masquerade, I guess you’ll just- go on- not knowing…
There’s crashing towers,
that’s happening now,
Spilling water,
that’s happening now,
Tipping tables,
that’s happening now,
But I wont let you see,
For this is a masquerade.
Slamming doors,
that’s happening now,
Breaking glass,
that’s happening now,
Screaming children,
that’s happening now,
But you won’t do anything,
For this is a masquerade.
You are trapped behind your cage,
but you put yourself there,
You locked it up
Just right now.
But aren’t we all?
For this is a masquerade.
Turns of pages with boxes, going on forever,
And turns of sand that mound up high until there is no air,
And it’s always a masquerade.
Crimson lips,
Ivory skin,
Golden accents,
And she’s thin,
At her masquerade it’s a party,
Crimson blood stained carpet,
That’s happening now,
Ivory pale skin,
that’s happening now,
“Is she dead?”
Did that happen right now?
But you can’t tell for this is a masquerade.
Violet flowers blossoming there,
Pearly smiles smiling there,
Beautiful voice singing there,
At her masquerade it’s a ball,
Violet bruises all over her body,
that’s happening now,
And she’s crying and crying
that’s happening now,
Go stop her crying,
But you cant
Because this,
Is a masquerade.
Masquerade, put on any face you please,
Masquerade, you can put your mind at ease
Masquerade, don’t you wish the people knew?
What all this masquerading has done,
To you.
