lyrics

You've won their hearts and their minds, but something isn't right still
You find these words in which to hide, all the greats
'Cause they don't love you, like those characters do

A taste of glamour in suburban prison, you're living in your own hell
Privilege wasn't all you were hoping for, I see it in the white lines
What are you hiding from? 'Cause I want you

In your room in the cover of moonlight, you can share your words with me
All night
But with your boys in the glare of sunlight, you can't even give me the time of day no
It's a devilish game you play, Masquerade

I love you more than you'll ever know, but I guess it's not the real you
I live inside my ideals so i guess I'm hiding too
But why can't you show me your hand and let me in? 'Cause I want you

But I can't keep trying forever, you're fading away
No I can't keep trying forever, you're fading to grey
Your masquerade is taking it's toll on me
