Masks and Monsters

Welcome to the ball The masquerade of mayhem We wear these monstrous masks To hide our faces So you can't find our true intentions Can you see through the guise Of all our false pretenses Do you like all the lies Told right to your face Or can you not tell Beneath the mask we hide We are all monsters The ones told in bed time stories From under your bed to your head Come to life in front of your very eyes We're your own worst enemy The thing that hides under your bed The monster in your closet You can't hide from us You malicious sons of bitches We are the people united Mask to mask we'll stand in they're way Oppose your tyranny , we won't take your **** We don't want to live in a desolate wasteland You're the monster we hide our faces from The fiend we fear, bringer of the end of days You think your all powerful but what you don't realize Is that you get your power from the people You rain your bombs on us Spy on us Invade our homes and minds This dance is coming to an end Who will win? Beneath the mask we hide We are all monsters The ones told in bed time stories From under your bed to your head Come to life in front of your very eyes We're your own worst enemy The thing that hides under your bed The monster in your closet You can't hide from us You malicious sons of bitches You call us terrorists, face the facts You're all liars and thieves Give back what you've taken We protest them because they disgust us We are the front lines The ones who stand up for what believe in Truth seekers! You are the one that's going to take the fall Lie to us! Lie to us! We won't believe, we're awake I am not a sheep and I won't be herded like one! From a puppet who thinks hes a wolf! Beneath the mask we hide We are all monsters the ones told in bed time stories From under your bed to your head Come to life in front of your very eyes
