MASQUERADE

I gave up on living cause all that I've been through I hated the man that I slowly turned into I rolled out the credits and came to regret it But lucky me God said the story continues I'm back so my story is really a fable I'm taking the reins like the head of the table I know in the past I was really unstable But give me a mask and I'm ready and able This type of homecoming calls for a party Is you sippin champagne or Bacardi VV's in my ear they Nefertari This straight from the top like a Hardy Off the ladder, I'm jumping right back in the game To all the people who thought I was out of the picture I'm back in the frame, time to reclaim I'm a masquerade From the 7th made I ain't been afraid See me and evade I'm a masquerade From the 7th made I ain't been afraid See me and evade As grateful I am at this chance I've been given I quit cause I hated the life I was living Couldn't make a difference, couldn't make a change The man in the mirror chose to disengage No matter what it was never enough To the point my desires would come off as bluffs I just couldn't be pleased and I couldn't be satisfied All of the good in my life ends up nullified I've always known that the problem was me But I covered myself and just say c'est la vie Cause it's harder to judge what the eye doesn't see So a walking facade's probably better to be Man I gotta ask I don't know if I'm up for the task Am I better off dead in a casket Or should I just take off the mask I hate that I'm probably better alone I hate that I always gotta atone I hate the future I fear the unknown Why can't I reap all the things that I've sown If you're not good at the game better switch the controls Or stick to your role Any means possible when I return to the Lord I accomplished my goal I'm a masquerade From the 7th made I ain't been afraid See me and evade I'm a masquerade From the 7th made I ain't been afraid See me and evade
