This Masquerade

( Written by L.Russell )

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say,
Searching but not finding understanding anyway,
We're lost in the Masquerade.

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
from being close together from the start,
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way,
We're lost inside this lonely game we play,
Thoughts of leaving disappear ev'ry time I see your eyes,
No matter how hard I try to understand the reason 
That we carry on this way,
You gotta be lost with us in the Masquerade
(We're lost in the Masquerade)

No matter how hard I try to understand the reason

You gotta be lost with us in the Masquerade
