MASQUERADE Lyrics

I gave up on living cause all that I've been through

I hated the man that I slowly turned into

I rolled out the credits and came to regret it

But lucky me God said the story continues

I'm back so my story is really a fable

I'm taking the reins like the head of the table

I know in the past I was really unstable

But give me a mask and I'm ready and able

This type of homecoming calls for a party

Is you sippin champagne or Bacardi

VV's in my ear they Nefertari

This straight from the top like a Hardy

Off the ladder, I'm jumping right back in the game

To all the people who thought I was out of the picture

I'm back in the frame, time to reclaim

I'm a masquerade

From the 7th made

I ain't been afraid

See me and evade

I'm a masquerade

From the 7th made

I ain't been afraid

See me and evade

As grateful I am at this chance I've been given

I quit cause I hated the life I was living

Couldn't make a difference, couldn't make a change

The man in the mirror chose to disengage

No matter what it was never enough

To the point my desires would come off as bluffs

I just couldn't be pleased and I couldn't be satisfied

All of the good in my life ends up nullified

I've always known that the problem was me

But I covered myself and just say c'est la vie

Cause it's harder to judge what the eye doesn't see

So a walking facade's probably better to be

Man I gotta ask

I don't know if I'm up for the task

Am I better off dead in a casket

Or should I just take off the mask

I hate that I'm probably better alone

I hate that I always gotta atone

I hate the future I fear the unknown

Why can't I reap all the things that I've sown

If you're not good at the game better switch the controls

Or stick to your role

Any means possible when I return to the Lord

I accomplished my goal

I'm a masquerade

From the 7th made

I ain't been afraid

See me and evade

I'm a masquerade

From the 7th made

I ain't been afraid

See me and evade
