Tell me how many times I've been at this point.
The light keeps fading
The day keeps dying
On my own
Searching for a way out
A way to set me free
I don't want to live this lie
I'm so sick of pretending

I'm smiling on the outside, but no one knows the truth
I've never known myself, so I wasted my whole youth
I'm dying from the inside and no one hears me scream
I've learned the hard way nothing is what it seems.

Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps
Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats
It's all a masquerade
A carnival of hidden pain
A desperate dance in the pouring rain

I spent to much time trying to fit in
My patience is wearing thin
We're all dead within
so dead within

How can you live with this messed up lie?
I don't want to be a comb of this human hive
Show the world your so called perfect life
But I can see inside it's all a lie

Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps
Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats
It's all a masquerade
A carnival of hidden pain
A desperate dance in the pouring rain

You can cover it with colours
Hide it in the brightness
But I‘ll always feel like a dead shell full of silence.
Don't let it fool your eyes
Don't get it wrong
I'm so done with this
I'm so done with you

Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps
Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats
It's all a masquerade
A carnival of hidden pain
A desperate dance in the pouring rain
