tiptoeing on table tops covered behind colourful masks a facade we can build, that'll last for tonight a night painted from self-pity and hopeless hope
let's pretend pretend that this masquerade will go on forever
take a step step back step forward step back
a waltz, almost a waltz swinging to the beat even though i can't dance walking with confidence despite these high heels velvet curtains like violent seas bring out the pain within me
tonight is the only night we'll ever accept the compliment of
"you're beautiful."
"thanks, I made this mask myself."
carve this night into the depths of your brain a masquerade stitched into my heart embroidered into every night I spend alone
masquerade
mask
hide the one beneath the mask help the one beneath the mask hide their fears hide their pain help them pretend that they're okay again
