elegy - masquerade lyrics

[parry]

on the surface things look different
what's underneath you cannot tell
for years it seems that everything is going well

behind the laughter hides a mystery
shrouded in a friendly veil
the moment when you're making progress
all things fail

a challenge to be solved, they can't resist
the chase
their masquerade
this dangerous path you're on, what if your instinct's wrong
beware the wrath of a patient man

danger, danger
danger lies
close beside, close beside you
danger, danger, close beside
waiting to take you away

what we perceive as being normal
a twisted mind won't stipulate
to occupy their genius a masquerade

way down a no-where road you're drifting
into a no-where place you'll stay
make a wish pray someone's listening, night and day
