Misery Masquerade

[Bridge] 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 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 [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse] A bulb flickering, crea-ting shimmer-ring 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 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 [Build] But as long as this beat keeps playing throughout the night I know I'll be all right... [Instrumental Music Box Interlude] [Melodic Verse] A light-bulb flickering... creating, shimmer-ring, shadows... They dance along to the melody in-my-headphones... Masking the sadness, it's a misery masquerade... The void in my heart the source of the pull and sway... 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... [Break] Too lost in my world, other side of the pane... [Build] [Bridge] 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 [Drop] The void inside dissipates... 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... Putting on a show underneath the light of my sorrows... I can only hear the shouts of the shadows! (Encore!) [Break] Oblivious to your presence as you scream my name... Too lost in my world, other side of the pane... [Music Box Build] [Melodic Rap Bridge] 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 [Drop] The void inside dissipates... [Music Box Pre-chorus] 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... [Chorus] [Bridge] 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... [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus, Manipulated Vocals] 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...) [A cappella, Dual Melodic Female Vocals] You have shattered everything that I thought I knew... I spiral... inside... at your touch, The void replaced by a whirlpool... [Pause] [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 gracious-lay..) [Anxious Build] 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... [Verse] I feel shattered like I'm barely keeping form With a crescendo of cracks, spill myself upon the floor If you bend down and examine each piece of me Will you decipher what's underneath? Inside I feel the internal tug-of-war As if I'm torn between two entirely different worlds What happens when I succumb to their gravity? Will I shatter even more or be at peace? [Melody] You have invaded my mind, and cleaved me in two... And shattered everything that I thought I knew... I spiral... inside... at your touch, The-void-replaced, by-a-whirlpool... [Pre-chorus] (Oh no, it's sucking you in...) [Chorus] [Aggressive Rap, deep female vocal] ... You have invaded my mind, left me cleaved in two... And shattered everything that I thought I knew... I spiral inside at your touch, The-void-replaced by a whirlpool... [Instrumental Chorus] [Aggressive Rap, deep female vocal] ... left me cleaved in two... And shattered everything that, I thought I knew... I spiral inside at your touch, The-void-replaced by a [Distorted Pre-Chorus] whirlpool... [Instrumental Chorus] [Aggressive 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... [Break] 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... [Powerful] The blood begins to run as I spin... [Instrumental Verse] [Aggressive Melodic 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 gracious-lay... [Build] 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... [Powerful Symphony] The blood begins to run as I spin... [Instrumental Fall] [Verse, Melodic Female Vocals] I feel shattered like I'm barely keeping form, With a crescendo of cracks, spill myself upon the floor... If you bend down and examine each piece of me... Will you decipher what's underneath? [Short Instrumental Interlude] Inside I feel the internal tug of war, As if I'm torn between two entire different worlds... What happens when I succumb to their gravity? Will I shatter even more or be at peace? [Build] Putting on a show underneath the light of my sorrows! But amongst the shouts of the shadows, there's something more! (The reverb of your voice throws itself against the glass like rain.) (The room's flooding, I'm escaping through the pane...) It's-then-I-find myself climbing through your window... Drag myself across the glass, oh! I can't resist you... I'll steal your soul with a smile on display... Are you sure it's good for you if I stay? If you bend down and examine each piece of me will you decipher what's underneath? [Verse] Inside I feel the internal tug of war, As if between two entire different worlds I'm being torn... What happens when I succumb to their gravity? Will I shatter even more or be at peace? [Build] Putting on a show underneath the light of my sorrows! But amongst the shouts of the shadows, there's something more! (The reverb of your voice throws itself against the glass like rain.) (The room's flooding, I'm escaping through the pane...) It's-then-I-find myself climbing through your window... Drag myself across the glass. Oh! I can't resist you... I'll steal your soul with a smile on display... Are you sure it's good for you if I stay? [Aggressive Melodic Chorus, Drop] 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 gracious-lay... [Build] 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... [Powerful Symphony] The blood begins to run as I spin... [Instrumental Fall] [Pre-Chorus, Change-up] The blood begins to run as I spin... [Instrumental Fall, Dripping] [Bridge] 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... I hate the silence, devoid of noise, it toys with my mind You're beating your heart against the door trying to get inside... [Drop] [Outro] [Bridge, Distorted Vocals] 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... I hate the silence, devoid of noise, it toys with my mind... You're beating your heart against the door... trying to get inside... [Instrumental Interlude] [Outro]
