Welcome to the masquerade
We're all pretending just to make it through the day

What we do must never come to light
Dwelling in the dark for what's wrong feels so right
They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us at the dark end
They're gonna find us at the dark end

I'm smashed into pieces living hour by hour
Twenty four is too much to devour
My eyes where blind but these words are so sour
How does it feel to be alive?

How does it feel to be alive?
Here in my mind I've died a thousand times

Dwelling in the dark for what's wrong feels so right
Hand in hand my friend
This is the end
My head is like a cage without a key
My thoughts run rampant
These words I dare not speak

In the shadows I wait and creep

Sever my tongue to silence my speech
So you may never lay eyes on this atrocity
Seeking refuge in the depths for what we are must never see the surface

So grim this game of skin were living in
I'm not playing to win

Despair is where I've made my bed
I'm not losing sleep
Hell's inside my head!
When God fails, the noose prevails!
