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
masquerade
mask
this night will end
this haven will end
until we meet again
