Masquerade of Lies

Verse 1: Caught in the mirror, shadows in my eyes, I see the lies you weave, your perfect disguise. Whispers in the dark, they echo through my mind, Haunted by the truth, I’m breaking from the bind. Pre-Chorus: Can’t you see the scars you’ve left behind? The pain you caused, the heart you undermined. Fading memories of what we used to be, Now I’m lost in a dream that’s killing me. Chorus: You’re everybody’s fool, a puppet on a string, A masquerade of lies, a broken song to sing. In a world of make-believe, you play your part so well, But behind your smile, you’re trapped in your own hell. Verse 2: Once I believed in the fairy tale you told, But the magic died, and the truth was cold. Silent screams beneath a painted mask, Every word a question I’m too afraid to ask. Pre-Chorus: Can’t you see the scars you’ve left behind? The pain you caused, the heart you undermined. Fading memories of what we used to be, Now I’m lost in a dream that’s killing me. Chorus: You’re everybody’s fool, a puppet on a string, A masquerade of lies, a broken song to sing. In a world of make-believe, you play your part so well, But behind your smile, you’re trapped in your own hell. Bridge: Tears like acid rain, falling from the sky, Every smile a mask, every truth a lie. Running from the ghost that you’ve become, In the end, you’ll see, there’s nowhere left to run. Chorus: You’re everybody’s fool, a puppet on a string, A masquerade of lies, a broken song to sing. In a world of make-believe, you play your part so well, But behind your smile, you’re trapped in your own hell. Outro: So take a look inside, the mask is wearing thin, The truth you tried to hide is burning deep within. In the end, you’ll find, no matter what you do, The biggest fool of all is always you.
