Lyric

Behind the mirror’s mask, I hide my smile

Sweet lies rolling on, drifting all the while

Beneath the velvet, shadows trace my face—

My true self stays hidden, lost without a trace

Too much spotlight, I can’t see at all

Lost inside the clapping, starting to fall

Dancing on the edge, this endless play—

Do I keep acting, or walk away?

La la la, so sweet, so sharp

A candy-coated secret in the dark

Dress my empty heart in masquerade light—

Dancing through the night, this masked ball tonight

The carousel spins shadows round and round

Poison laced in every whispered sound

A fleeting fairy tale that won’t last long—

Believe in this, and you’ve lost the song

Fraying ribbons, meaningless kiss

Laughing through the fake love’s abyss

“Don’t look too close,” the warning rings—

“You don’t want to know the real me.”

La la la, I want to shine

A poisonous dress that blooms just fine

Burn my heart whole while I sing my plight—

At this masked ball tonight

(Breakdown)

Someone’s crying behind the glass—

“Hey, it’s time to let this go,” they ask

But I just can’t stop this show

“Because no one really sees me, no…”

La la la, the dream goes on

Alone in applause until the dawn

When this mask finally breaks and falls

Even if nothing’s left at all—

Beyond the mask I shed tonight

If someone’s there to hold me tight—

Say good night

“…Good night, to me.”
