Caliban and Brian ""Head"" Welch - Masquerade

Distorted and broken, a fractured facade
The curtain is falling
The surface will break
Your face became a mask and
The mask became your friend
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirrors shows the enemy!

This is my reckoning!
Ripping of your second skin
This is my reckoning!
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside! You can’t fucking hide
Devil inside! Unravel your mind
Devil inside! No more fucking lies
Devil inside! Sever your ties

Break out from this masquerade
Before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!

With fake love and a plastic heart
Your dead eyes shining dark
These blurred lines do not define
Who you really are!
I left the past behind - look deep inside
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirrors shows the enemy!

This is my reckoning!
Ripping of your second skin
This is my reckoning!
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside! You can’t fucking hide
Devil inside! Unravel your mind
Devil inside! No more fucking lies
Devil inside! Sever your ties

Break out from this masquerade
Before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!

Break away there’s nothing to it
It may be hard, but no excuses!
Fix the broken
Breaking away ‘cause you are free!
Breaking away 'cause you are free!
Who do you want to be?!
Breaking away 'cause you are free!

Break out from this masquerade
Before we fade away
We are losing who we are!
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart!
