Welcome to the Masquerade
Whenever I think of a Masquerade
I think of a Masquerade ball,
With gorgeous dresses and everyone in beautifully decorated masks
But that's not what a Masquerade is
The definition of Masquerade
Is a false show or pretense
Pretending to be someone one is not
Behind the dresses, tuxes, and masks is
Maybe someone you didn't expect
They could be a killer, the nerd of the school, a simple businessman,
You won't know
The girl standing in the back of the room all by herself,
Could be the most popular and well-known person,
But you won't know
You don't know,
You don't know if you're going to be stabbed in the back,
If the person in front of you is your best friend, or someone who sounds like them
So many people can deceive you
The bullies at the food table could be complete scaredy-cats for all you know
Because of a piece of plastic,
We don't know the difference between Strangers and Family,
Friends and Enemies,
Fake and Real
The mask you see is an illusion,
When you're there you'll do one thing you would have never done if it wasn't for a mask concealing you face,
Hiding your identity
We walk around every day with a mask on,
Whether we know it or not
Because we are fake
Because when you say something that isn't true, you're becoming something you're not
And this is Life
This is your Masquerade
