Deception's Masquerade

All this is a masquerade. Everyone’s hiding behind their masks… Words are easily written, but they can pretend letting others believe in rainbows …when in reality, tempests are the norm, hounding their souls All this is a masquerade An air of indifference is all he exudes when inside his emotions are molten Never quite knowing how to reveal himself his mask full of thorns, broken All this is a masquerade And there she glows with a light about her When inside she is black as tar Her mask crumbles, she hastens to touch it up but the darkness within starts to seep through the cracks All this is a masquerade People never do show their true selves Hiding behind masks, masking words to hide Words are easily spoken, emotions can be under pretense The cynic can be a hypocrite and the hypocrite is a cynic All this is a masquerade. 07212011342p400 for Nette's It's Mask Time contest
