Lyrics

MASQUERADE
(by HEROE)

I see you staring from your eyes of glass
A penny for your thoughts as we put on our masks
We hide so that nobody else can see
Inside are you hiding from me

Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Caught up in your masquerade

I see your silhouette upon the stage
I try to read your thoughts but you've turned the page
Masked ball we shall all wear our veils 'til dawn
We fall bearing masks of the pawn

Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Caught up in your masquerade

Show us some mercy
Take off that cursing mask and let us go
Give us a chance
The circumstances are beyond our control
As if my feelings could pantomime in a masquerade

You just gotta let go 'cuz the masquerade goes on
And the masquerade goes on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

We're hers and we're all going crazy
Prisoners oh won't somebody save me

Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade

Caught up in the masquerade
Caught up in the masquerade
