Masquerade
Some people hide behind handheld glass
Some people pretend and lie and scheme
Some people paste on a smile when they are stretched for miles
Life has become a masquerade
Sometimes smiling while walking on broken glass
Often behind closed doors opening a flask
We pretend nowadays
We don't say what we mean
Reality is instant rice
Broken hearts often pay the price
Where is the depth or feeling?
When will the world stop pretending
We live in a world that keeps on spinning
The hourglass is running out of sand
Yet we keep on pretending
Pressure is pushing on us from every side
Yet we act like we should all be grinning
Will this masquerade be never ending?
Aren't you tired of pretending
Its like being on a carnival ride that just keeps on spinning
The truth is no one is ever winning
