MASQUERADE

Look into my eyes tell me that you see everything
Underneath confidence that masquerades what's wrong
Not what you'd expect that I'm surely invincible
Along the seams vulnerability stitches up the strong

Careful the thread could unravel
Offer your arm to lean on
Gentle I'm too tired to travel
Farther unfastened undone

Masquerade the masquerade the masquerade is on

Take me in your arms knowing that I'm susceptible
Don't suspect the heart stops giving when it starts to bleed
Steely cool resolve compensates for deep weaknesses
Don't be fooled I've tucked the ragged edges up my sleeve

Careful the thread could unravel
Offer your arm to lean on
Gentle I'm too tired to travel
Farther unfastened undone

Masquerade the masquerade the masquerade is on

Look into my eyes tell me that you see everything
Underneath confidence that masquerades what's wrong
