Lyrics

Why do we? Why do we?
We set out all our traps?
We keep so many skeletons in our closets
Keep everything under wraps
We hold tight to our secrets
Why can't we?
Why can't we?
Just let it go?
No we just hide away
So no one will know

Just like we build up our castles
Out of of paper maché
We paint them up pretty
But at the end of the day
Our defenses come down
To just one masquerade
And one little spark could take them all away
Paper maché

Why do we?
Why do we?
Tear each other down?
We'll stab our brothers in the back
As soon as they turn around
Waiting for the sneak attack

Why can't we?
Why can't we?
Just let it go?
No we'll feed on roasted comrades
Before our mouths get in control

Just like we build up our castles
Out of of paper maché
We paint them up pretty
But at the end of the day
Our defenses come down
To just one masquerade
And one little spark could take them all away
Paper maché

These walls we've built
Are our own painted cages
This story we wrote
Has tears on its pages
We're dying alone
When we won't let down our defenses
What I need to know
Is can just put down the weapons?
If we don't come together
If our pride won't surrender
What makes us think tomorrow
Won't be just yesterday?


Just like we build up our castles
Out of of paper maché
We paint them up pretty
But at the end of the day
Our defenses come down
To just one masquerade

Just like we build up our castles
Out of of paper maché
We paint them up pretty
But at the end of the day
Our defenses come down
To just one masquerade

Just like we build up our castles
Out of of paper maché
We paint them up pretty
But at the end of the day
Our defenses come down
To just one masquerade

And one little spark
And one little spark
And one little spark could take them all away
Paper maché
