"Midnight Masquerade" lyrics

"Midnight Masquerade"

We wear a thousand faces just to hide the one we hate
Dressed in elegance and agony, parading through decay
Luxuries replace broke dreams
Telling lies behind anonymity just to feel something

Another day getting in too deep
We stay because we just can't kill the beast
Another day another sin so deadly
We know it's wrong but it tastes so sweet

In this midnight masquerade
Where you can become anyone or anything
Because if no one knows your name
Then no one has to know what you've been hiding

Synthetic pleasure lives where innocence has come to die
We gather for the feast to satisfy a need to feel alive

Feeding in the dead of night
With open arms and covered eyes
Just lose yourself and pick a vice
Don't think of what you sacrifice

In this midnight masquerade
Where you can become anyone or anything
Because if no one knows your name
Then no one has to know what you've been hiding

This house is a prison of porcelain shame
Leave when you like, but you'll never be the same

The midnight masquerade
Where you can finally hide from the pain
Just a taste of the insane
Will bend your mind until you fucking break

In this midnight masquerade
Where you can become anyone or anything
Because if no one knows your name
Then no one has to see what you've been hiding

At the midnight masquerade
Trust no one or anything
At the midnight masquerade
It's always more than what it seems
