Masquerade - Infamous Stringdusters, The Lyrics
Masquerade
And only darkness seemed to care
So I forged this dreadful mask
That I am cursed to wear
Now everyday it's staring at me
Hanging from the wall
"Without me you are useless!"
"Without me you will fall!"
Of the roles that I have played
Of vows I broke and vows I made
It's time to end this masquerade
"Without me no one loves you!"
"Without me you're alone!"
I cannot live without you
I can't be on my own
When I wear you day by day
I am a king, come what may
But I know that some day
I will know the price to pay
I see it clearly now - the end
It's time to say goodbye my friend
I have to live as who I'd be
Without a mask protecting me
