What's real in this masquerade called life?
Behind these masks
Underneath the painted on smiles

What's real?
Deep down, past our hard mannequin shell
Lies the bloody truth
With every beat, every breath
Every step, every word
Masquerading happiness
Nobody knows
Nobody can ever know
Cry yourself to sleep
Scream into pillows
Hide

Come out
Show your TRUE self
Hatch from your fake shell
Naked and vulnerable
The world will know
The healing will begin
What's real in this masquerade called life?
