Masquerade (feat. Brian "Head" Welch)

Distorted and broken, a fractured facade
The curtain is falling, the surface will break
Your face became a mask and the mask became your friend
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirror shows the enemy

This is my reckoning
Ripping of your second skin
This is my reckoning
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside
You can't fucking hide
Devil inside

Unravel your mind
Devil inside
No more fucking lies
Devil inside
Sever your ties

Break out, break out from this masquerade
Before we fade away
We are losing who we are
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away
And heal your hollow heart

With fake love and a plastic heart, your dead eyes shining dark
These blurred lines do not define who you really are
I left the past behind, look deep inside
We all become what we pretend to be
The mirror shows the enemy
This is my reckoning
Ripping of your second skin

This is my reckoning
No mask can hide the devil within
Devil inside
You can't fucking hide
Devil inside
Unravel your mind
Devil inside

No more fucking lies
Devil inside
Sever your ties
Break out, break out from this masquerade
Before we fade away
We are losing who we are
Unmask your hidden hate

Wash it all away
And heal your hollow heart
Break away
There's nothing to it
It may be hard, but no excuses
Break away
There's nothing to it

It know it's hard, but no excuses
Fix the broken
Breaking away 'cause you are free
Breaking away 'cause you are free
Who do you want to be?

Breaking away 'cause you are free
Break out from this masquerade before we fade away
We are losing who we are
Unmask your hidden hate
Wash it all away and heal your hollow heart
Break out from this masquerade
We are losing who we are

Break out from this masquerade
And heal your hollow heart
Breaking away 'cause you are free
Breaking away 'cause you are free
Who do you want to be?
Breaking away 'cause you are free
