(Verse 1)

In the shadows we hide, behind the masks we wear

Pretending to be happy, pretending not to care

But deep inside we're broken, our true selves laid bare

In this masquerade of sorrow, we're trapped in our own despair

Behind the veil of painted smiles,

We hide our fears in the masquerade,

Pretending to be someone else,

Lost in the charade.

(Chorus)

We dance in darkness, with smiles painted on our face

Hiding our true emotions, trying to find our place

But the sadness lingers, in every hidden trace

In this masquerade of secrets, we're bound in our embrace

Masks we wear to hide the pain,

In this world of make-believe,

Searching for the truth in vain,

In this masquerade we deceive.

(Verse 2)

The music plays on, as we twirl and spin

But the emptiness grows, as we lose and we win

We search for connection, but it's hard to begin

In this masquerade of loneliness, we're lost in our own sin

Beneath the veneer of laughter,

Lies the ache of broken dreams,

We dance in shadows of despair,

Lost in the silent screams.

(Chorus)

We dance in darkness, with smiles painted on our face

Hiding our true emotions, trying to find our place

But the sadness lingers, in every hidden trace

In this masquerade of secrets, we're bound in our embrace

Masks we wear to hide the pain,

In this world of make-believe,

Searching for the truth in vain,

In this masquerade we deceive.

(Bridge)

Behind the painted smiles, the silent screams,

In a world of illusions, shattered dreams,

The masks we wear, they can't disguise,

The pain and sorrow, hidden in our eyes.

But behind these masks we wear,

Lies a heart that longs to be free,

To break away from the facade,

And embrace our true reality.

(Chorus)

We dance in darkness, with smiles painted on our face

Hiding our true emotions, trying to find our place

But the sadness lingers, in every hidden trace

In this masquerade of secrets, we're bound in our embrace

Masks we wear to hide the pain,

In this world of make-believe,

Searching for the truth in vain,

In this masquerade we deceive.

Outro:

The masks we wear, they deceive and betray

Leaving us feeling lost, we don't know what to say

We dance in shadows, trying to find the light

Searching for something real, something that feels right

As the music fades, the masks remain,

In this lonely dance of endless pain.

Lost in disguise, I quietly cry,

In this masquerade, I'm longing to fly.
