Creeping eyes from across this masquerade
Feeling scared
Every stare will cut like blades
Dead inside, try to hide behind
And shake the tremors
Hiding with a smile in a crowded place
Moaning through the lips of a plastic face
Every word just a code that screams
Owned by terror
Are you scared to see what lies beneath
Behind these artificial teeth
Through the guilty strings this mask
Controls it's wearer
Trapped in our own disguises
Cut free but soulless still
Our dreams are haunted by the ghosts we kill
Identities of silence
In search of cheaper scares
We're all surrounded by the masks we wear
Vilified for deeds done in the light
Hiding away within plain sight
These cloaks are keeping safe
The secret faces
Terrified of making one mistake
Narrow mind 'til the soul begins to break
We are just husks seeking
The world's false graces
Trapped in our own disguises
Cut free but soulless still
Our dreams are haunted by the ghosts we kill
Identities of silence
In search of cheaper scares
We're all surrounded by the masks we wear
Awake within the moment
Asleep throughout our lives
We suffer in this torment
Ensnared in our own lies
In facelessness we're equal
When we're not even there
You're someone underneath this
Behind the mask you wear
Trapped in our own disguises
Cut free but soulless still
Our dreams are haunted by the ghosts we kill
Identities of silence
In search of cheaper scares
We're all surrounded by the masks we wear
Trapped in our own disguises
Cut free but soulless still
Our dreams are haunted by the ghosts we kill
Identities of silence
In search of cheaper scares
We're all surrounded by the masks we wear
