Liliumdust - Compliant Masks

In a world where all are perfect
Must be charming, ever faultless

With sweet words
we're all deceivers
slayers in disguise

Souls and voices up for sale
an old game
where we lose ourselves
every time

Empty eyes with glowing smiles
are all you've got to give

In our lies
we've been swimming
dragged and cheated
In our charming lies
we dance and prance around
with compliant masks
What are you trying to hide?
Poverty? Grand Misery?
Come! Take off your mask
Let your woe be seen

“Those victories are borrowed,
they don't belong to you
someday you will have the need
to know who you really are
but all you will find
is a good-looking hoax”

In our lies
we've been swimming
dragged and cheated
In our charming lies
we dance and prance around
with compliant masks
What are you trying to hide?
Poverty? Grand Misery?
Come! Take off your mask
Or I'll rip it off your face
