The Masquerade

Into the night they whispered unto your mind
The moon is watching
While the sun rests her eyes

So you smiled across
The blue painted walls in my room
Maybe you and I
Will groove to the tune of her blues

I'll unlock the vaults under your little flower bed
Looking from side to side
Just to check if I'm really dead

Now they wonder where we went
I say fuck it we need a rest
From the prying eyes of everyone
Who wishes they were here instead

You may crawl if you fall into their arms

Don't you mind the hall of mirrors of love
Close the door and hope no one else
Will see our hopeless masquerade

The night has just begun
And I hope you stay a while
Look around there's no one else
To mend you for the pain you wanna save

They gather round you
For the final sacrifice enslaved
Don't go near him
He's not worth shoveling your own grave

Don't listen to them our love is strong for a sin
Push the lever that pulls you down
6 feet underground
We win

False hope, false disappointment

Don't you mind the hall of mirrors of love
Close the door and hope
No one else will see our hopeless masquerade

The night has just begun
and I hope you stay a while
Look around there's no one else
To mend you for the pain you wanna save
