Lyrics: Peter Svensson, Thomas Andersson, Magnus Werndell
Ain't it funny how we play our parts
And shove aside our hearts
Just to fit in and live up to the expectations put on us
And since childhood we've been taught to follow patterns
It goes on and on, we're trying to conceal our angst
To bury it within
You always seemed so happy
Betrayed by your eyes
You fail disguise
You're lost inside of this shallow masquerade
You know who you are but never seem to show it
Cause you're scared of being pointed out as different from the rest
And there you are!
Like a puppet without eyes, to blind to see the strings attached
You always wonder why you're down
But never seem to understand
We always talk of freedom
Betrayed by ourselves
Forced, Constantly
To play along in the shallow masquerade
