Masquerade

The past applies her makeup covers her scars and bruises
Makes herself look beautiful and whispers you her stories
She can fill your heart with longing of how things used to be
But with broken dreams and dirty scenes, she brings you to your knees

Gasping for light but lost in the night that she feeds you
Awaiting the dawn but when the new day is born she'll be there

She can be your perfect paradise, she can be your prison chamber
But history is her story, there's nothing that can change her

Gasping for light but lost in the night that she feeds you
Awaiting the dawn but when the new day is born she'll be there

Dancing with her in this masquerade
Behind the mask you made
