Take a look around
Get lost in the sound
Walk between the crowds
Disappear like smoke clouds

Put on your most convincing disguise
While ignoring the cries
Paint your beautiful face
At night erase every trace

Trying to hide every defect
Your desire is to be perfect
Cover all your cracks
Stand still like a statue of wax

Look in the mirror dejected
Thinking you will never be accepted
Afraid of leaving your soul bare
They'll leave nothing to spare

Get ready to put on your best act
You're sure to leave an impact
Life's a grand masquerade
Just wait for the pretending to fade
