Il testo della Masquerade

I never thought 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 same'

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 playsa 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
