"Masquerade" lyrics

"Masquerade"

Here I go again
Fixing myself up for them
I can't even call one a friend
So why am I here again?
Catch myself fixing my posture
When I'm just another imposter
Parading around, playing charades
Fade in and out

What if I take this mask off of my face?
Call a spade a spade, jump off the stage
As my dress drags the floor
I'll be screaming, oh, I hate this place
Fuck this masquerade, I'll smash the champagne
As I run out the door
'Cause this isn't fun anymore

I'm not lookin' back
They're setting fire to the theater
Nothing left but smoke and mirrors
Now there's dirt under my heels
And I love the way that it feels
If only this daydream was real

What if I–
What if I take that mask off of my face?
Call a spade a spade, jump off the stage
As my dress drags the floor
I'll be screaming, oh, I hate this place
Fuck this masquerade, I'll smash the champagne
As I run out the door
'Cause this isn't fun anymore
No, this isn't fun anymore

Parading around, playing charades
I fade in and out
Filling the space
But I see it now
All of it's fake
And I'm part to blame

What if I take this mask off of my face?
Call a spade a spade, jump off the stage
As my dress drags the floor
And I'll be screaming, oh, I hate this place
Fuck this masquerade, I'll smash the champagne
As I run out the door
'Cause this isn't fun anymore
