Lyrics:

I got Hot breath blowing down my neck
Make my skin crawl make my hair stand up
Substance left inside my head
Keep me in line, telling me, I’m not allowed to
Feel this way.. or at least don’t show it
(Yeah you gotta image to protect)
So sell your soul, if you don’t we’ll know it
(Have a good time…)

So welcome to the masquerade
We’re all trying to fool each other that we’re all ok
Dancing with the devil round the truth
Paint your smile and hide your face
Keep it prim and proper there’s no stopping this charade
Chant the words, like you’re supposed to do
I’m fine, how are you?

Tear down all the cathedrals
We worship at the altar of ourself
12 hundred little pixels
To fake heaven out of our personal hell
What’s the matter
What’s the matter
What’s the matter with it
I’m alone and she’s alone
And we’re alone admit it
Or just wait a minute
I think the high is kicking in
Ooo

So welcome to the masquerade
We’re all trying to fool each other that we’re all ok
Dancing with the devil round the truth
Paint your smile and hide your face
Keep it prim and proper there’s no stopping this charade
Chant the words, like you’re supposed to do
I’m fine, how are you?

Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
And I’m fine
Yeah I’m fine
I’m fine

And the funny part is we all see right through
Everybody’s mask except our own
Until we’re driving home
And can’t convince ourselves we’re not really alone

Ooooh my gosh, this is a thousand times sadder than the original version. Thank you for this music, Abe! I don't know if it's just me or the lighting, but you look like Vincent Van Gogh from this video. Love lots from the Philippines!
