A game of charades. Masks and mimicking.
See who i am behind all the layers. Boo, here i was.
Come and catch my shadows, running through the woods.
Hiding from the devil.
Playing chess with a mastermind of changing faces.
Sleeping in a cabin that's a little bit to big for just me.
Looking up at the night sky, wishing my life away on a dying star.
New eyes glare in to my windows, I wonder what happened to the old monsters...
Devil in the bed across the hall, whispering words of true wisdom.
Sun going to keep on rising, burning away all of the darkness of our hearts.

******* one last kiss, carry out my bags. Here i go, on my way to the masquerade.
I'll be the shadow dancing with the devil. Running through the steps : 1,2,1,2,3,4
Guessing what i could and couldn't be.
Go and grab a shovel and we'll go and dig up the bones of all my past lies and lives.
Hide in the shadow, cover your mouth not a sound can be made.
The closer they become, all the more deadly I prove to be.
Drop my mask.. here i go. Breath out the fire, and see all the sparks.
Go and **** to get the devil to listen to your story. Watch him cry as you tell him of the battle going on             between my head and my heart.

Bow my head but not my eyes. Look into the mirror, holding the devils hand, and see who you are today.
Wave away that impostor in am reflecting and prove all the ghosts I am seeing wrong.
Pulling the trigger and running.
Don't you dare watch.
Don't you dare look back.
Don't even think about getting caught.
But most important don't lose your mask!

Cover your ears, hear me screaming in the wind.
See all the blood and go and dance on all of the graves.
Watch the grand masquerade fade in the dark. Listening to the last note of a long song.
Saying our last goodbye...
