Masquerade Video (MV)

We wake up in the morning put on the mask we're always wearing
A smile that's not our own hiding truths we should be sharing
In the mirror we see eyes that have lost their glow
Living lives for others just to fit into their show

We're not our true selves living in this society
Saying words we don't mean for the sake of propriety
We dance to the tune of the acceptance we crave
But deep down we know it's our own soul we betray

Oh the faces we wear they're heavy like lead
We laugh we cheer but inside we're all dead
For their dreams their comforts for a hopeless cause
To drown in the echoes of our cultures applause

We're not really ourselves living in this society
We do the wrong things for the sake of propriety
We dance to the tune of the acceptance we crave
But deep down we know it's our own soul we betray

Oh how we long for the courage to stand alone
To speak our minds to let our true colors be shown
But fear grips our hearts keeps us silent keeps us small
In a world where being real could be your downfall

We don't know who we are living in this society
When you can't tell the truth for the sake of propriety
We dance to the tune of the acceptance we crave
But deep down we know it's our own soul we betray

Imagine a day when we could all just be
Without the fear of judgment or the need to agree
To live with honesty to wear our true face
In a world where love is a given not something to chase

We're not our true selves living in this society
Saying words we don't mean for the sake of propriety
But maybe one day we'll find the strength to say
I am who I am and that'll be ok

So here's to the dream to living authentically
To breaking the chains of this social hypocrisy
May we find the courage may we find our voice
In a world with opinions where identity's a choice
