Masquerade of Life

from In Solitude by Adam Johnston

/

about

Originally featured as the title track on 'Masquerade of Life' (2008), it has been reworked and rerecorded for 'In Solitude'. Featuring Theresa Smith on vocals.

lyrics

Am I the only person here?
The only one to see things clear
Masks are now all that I see,
Now you’ve taken mine from me
Round and round, everyone.
All they do is dance, they’re done.
Hidden for eternity,
Why won’t you show your face to me?

Things just aren’t the same
All this hurts my brain.
It finds the fear inside,
Fuelled by your disguise.
You’re hiding in plain sight
Your Smile in place all night
But I know inside you scream
You’re writing your own dream

Everyone’s dancing
No-one is living
Hiding behind lies,
Nothing survives.
What do we gain
From such illusion,
Everyone dances
The Masquerade of Life

I know this can’t last long,
Your life will all go wrong.
You keep up this charade,
Dance the at the masquerade.
I only wish I knew,
Just how to break through,
Throw away your mask and,
Be with you at last.
