Masquerade

[LostAndSound]

Or Mask, I can't decide on the title. Help?

(Verse 1)
Hold that mask upon your face
Tell me you don’t feel misplaced
Feel the kiss of what’s replaced
Control like venom in your veins

Hold that mask upon your skin
Try to suppress the beast within
The scars confess where you have been
So drop the mask and let me in

(Chords)
Come on
Show me your kingdom
Order you’re guards
To free the slaves

You’re the beat
To the ballroom
The beauty inside you
Brings me to this place

Nobody said this was a masquerade
So let me see your face

(Verse 2)
Hold that mask upon your soul
Sell all your faith for fools gold
But when it all comes to unfold
My open hand is yours to hold

Hold that mask upon your heart
Watch you’re words tear you apart
I know its not too late to start
Playing yourself and not some part

(Chords)
Come on
Show me your kingdom
Order you’re guards
To free the slaves

You’re the beat
To the ballroom
The beauty inside you
Brings me to this place

Nobody said this was a masquerade
So let me see your face

(Bridge)*
Take that mask again once more
Mirror games just lead to war
Time to even out the score
And smash that mask upon the floor


(Chords)
Come on
Show me your kingdom
Order you’re guards
To free the slaves

You’re the beat
To the ballroom
The beauty inside you
Brings me to this place

Nobody said this was a masquerade
So let me see your face

Really hoping to find any input, impressions, or thoughts!

I might record it and post it at some point.

Very nice! It reminds me off what my life was like before I came out. I kind of like Maquerade for the title better. Seems more...elegent yet mystique!

Masquerade.

Mask is a little dull.
