Detritus - Masquerade lyrics

Smiley happy faces, A hurt filled heart denied, Who cares about the person, If they look good from outside Ignore my emotions Let them eat away inside Lothing left to live for But at least I kept my pride. Can you ignore love? Can you endure hate? Can you live a lie? Deny the loneliness and pain? Can you hate yourself? Attain a darker shade? Blindly paint your mask And come and join the masquerade A childhood fear, a trauma Oppressed emotions grow Tangled deep within A time bomb waiting to explode The oppressed becomes oppressor Aggression now unleashed Thus starts the vicious circle But the anguish could be peace Ther etsands your father Crying at the pain The perfect answer Not an object for the blame The hate, the fear, the pain, the tears, the lies See through your mind, your pain filled eyes Washed in the blood, your anguish dies Your mind set free Go out and live again
