Misery Masquerade (Short Version)

[Intro] Reflection in the mirror, I thought I knew it But in the cracks of my skin, dark secrets lurk within Claw marks, a captive locked in a cage Ears covered but calm when the music plays [Verse] I hate the silence, devoid of noise, it toys with my mind You're beating your heart against the door trying to get inside But as long as this beat keeps playing throughout the night I know that I will be all right A bulb flickering, creating shimmering shadows They dance along to the melody in my headphones Masking the sadness, it's a misery masquerade The void in my heart, source of the pull and sway [Verse] Putting on a show underneath the light of my sorrows! I can only hear the shouts of the shadows! (encore!) Oblivious to your presence as you scream my name! Too lost in my world, other side... of the pane... So imagine my shock when you crash through my window! You pierce my skin like shards of glass in the wind! (Oh!...), No will within me to resist or to pull away! The void inside dissipates... [Build] This just in, you've invaded my mind and completely cleaved it in two! And shattered everything that I thought I knew! I spiral inside at your touch... The void replaced by a whirlpool.... I spiral inside at your touch... ((The void replaced by a whirlpool....)) [Chorus] Welcome to the Misery Masquerade! Where we hide our problems Underneath a fragile face. Until the cracks start showing We dance the night away. (Shadows as our hosts...) (They beckon graciously...) No matter what I do I can't pull away But without a mask I don't know how long I can stay The cracks start showing (in my skin...) The blood begins to run (as I spin...)
