Masquerade Lyrics

For so long I've been
Putting all my effort into you
My heart is bare
I've been looking everywhere for truth
You know...
Exactly what you're doing to me
But that's okay...
'Cause I'm not playing anymore

(CHORUS)
I see what you're trying to hide
It didn't take me long to realize
You can't fool me with your disguise
I can see right through your lying eyes
You took your shot, pushed me around
You're never gonna take me down
So get out of my face...
With your masquerade

Since I've moved on
Things are going everyway but wrong
It's a brighter day (across the sky)
A new life, new friends
It's got me wondering where I've been
I was in a haze
I know...
That you're still bearing down on me
That's okay...
'Cause I'm not running anymore

(CHORUS)

When it all comes down
You won't have control over me
You can shape it how you want
But you have been revealed

You took your shot, pushed me around
You're never gonna take me down

(CHORUS)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is saying: satan puts on a mask and tries to make bad things look good, this song is saying to satan and to sin to get away, he can no longer fool me because I have found Jesus and Jesus has showed me the mask that satan puts on
