Why must we falter? Why must we live in fear? Why must we masquerade? Yet drown in our own tears... Please wake up from your sleepless slumber Please end the sorrow Let your shattered heart be taken far away Hate to begin another day A thin disguise to hide the sorrow A veil of lies to hide the truth A mask of hope made to forget A memory that once was you The brilliant colors Play tricks within the light Gentle strokes over crimson, black and blue Your mood is seeming bright But the mirror never lies Secrets come to view No, the mirror never cries The stains come from deep inside of you Your secrets come to view A thin disguise to hide the sorrow A veil of lies to hide the truth A mask of hope made to forget A memory that once was you
A thin disguise to hide the sorrow A veil of lies to hide the truth A mask of hope made to forget A memory that once was you Paint your face Cover up the pain Brush away the cracks Floods from years of rain Why must we falter? Why must we live in fear? Why must we masquerade? Yet drown in our own tears... You've got to wake up from your sleepless slumber Please end the sorrow Let your shattered heart be taken far away Hate to begin another day A thin disguise to hide the sorrow A veil of lies to hide the truth A mask of hope made to forget A memory that once was you A thin disguise to hide the sorrow A veil of lies to hide the truth A mask of hope made to forget A memory that once was you
