Cure for the Ghost - Masquerade Lyrics

Put me aside
Lead me astray
Make me believe
That this mirage is real
All I see is an empty shell
So obsessed by what you reflect
Living in a world where the look of the fruit
Worth more than its own taste
Its grip is so tight
You're caught in the undertow
This ocean will drag you down
Is there a soul within?
Or are you just a manikin?
Show what lies beneath your skin
Is there a soul within?
Or are you just a manikin?
Reveal - your true nature and...
Burn all these perfect illusions
What's the point after all?
Embracing the man you're not
Take off the mask from your face
Erase these lies of paradise
Time to bring an end to this
Masquerade
Terrified to stand out from the crowd
You choose to stay behind this f*cking red line
Will you let this society corrupt your soul
With its mold of normalcy?
No mercy...
Keep fighting, swimming against the waves
It will swallow, it will swallow you whole
Give it a try and don't be shy, you can't buy the lie
Burn all these perfect illusions
What's the point after all?
Embracing the man you're not
Take off the mask from your face
Erase these lies of paradise
Time to bring an end to this
Masquerade
You're scared, this I know,
Exposing your imperfections to the world
These are the details
Defining your true self
You don't have to hide
The one sleeping inside
In the end, you will found your way
Through this Masquerade
This Masquerade
