I never though I'd find my way back to your front door
Black paint and broken picture frames strewn across the floor
I tore the room apart to find your name beneath the layers of the sane
You're so confused when we're apart
How clever is the man
Who spends a lifetime counting cards
To never show his hand
In the quiet I can feel your shame
A faint familiar barricade
I can't see you
I don't hear you call
What am I fighting for?
You know I wonder who you are when I'm not around
A king, for queen, who pays a part, or loyal in your crown
Through the doorway I see nothing's changed
the shadow of the masquerade
I don't need you
It's just been so long
How did it all go wrong?
I guess it's how the story goes...
Don't come back, I need you
Go away, I'll leave you
Hide your heart, I'll cheat you
Don't false start, I'll beat you
Through the doorway I see nothing's changed the shadow of the masquerade
