Masquerade

I close my eyes and try to sleep
But war keeps pounding in my head
I search for peace between these walls
Where truth and lies get mixed instead
The morning breaks too harsh and soon
And I can't tell what's false or true

This world is just a masquerade
Where nothing's what it claims to be
Time slips away like morning rain
What am I fighting for today?
When every step leads back to pain
And all I know fades away

They say it's just another game
But look how high the stakes have grown
I chase illusions day by day
Through smoke and fire, all alone
The clock keeps ticking endlessly
While answers turn to dust and leave

This world is just a masquerade
Where nothing's what it claims to be
Time slips away like morning rain
What am I fighting for today?
When every step leads back to pain
And all I know fades away

Is this battle worth the cost?
Or are we already lost?
Between the ashes and the night
Can anyone see what's right?

This world is just a masquerade
Where nothing's what it claims to be
Time slips away like morning rain
What am I fighting for today?
When every step leads back to pain
And all I know fades away
