"MASQUERADE"

I know nothing lasts forever

When will this end?

I've seen the distance between us growing

Why do we choose to pretend?

Were we moving too fast?

Trying to make this shit last?

Never thought I'd fall back to this again

But I land on my feet

You drop to your knees

I kind of like that position you're in

But the moment will pass

And in time, I'll relax

It wouldn't be the first time my heart's been attacked

I feel this heavy in my chest like the walls of my heart will collapse

But you don't have to call the medic

I know you'll want to blame me for that

Your body's got me in a hot pursuit

AHHH...

Better swerve or I'll crash

I'm so tired of wearing a mask

I don't even know what to call what we had

What he had was an act

A story of a lover and fighter

And a giver and taker

And our love it was murder

And our love put me under

It's getting harder and harder to stand

Like a rose in a fire

But now I aim higher
