Masquerade - The Infamous Stringdusters

My only friend was solitude

And only darkness seemed to care

So i forged this dreadful mask

That i am cursed to wear

Now everyday It’s staring at me

Hanging from the wall

«without me you are useless !»

«without me you will fall !»

Now I’m scared and I’m afraid

Of the roles that i have played

Of vows i broke and vows i made

Its time to end this masquerade

«Without me noone loves you!»

«Without me you’re alone !»

I cannot live without you

I can’t be on my own

When I wear you day by day

I am a king, come what may

But I know that some day

I will know the price to pay

I see it clearly now — The end

It’s time to say goodbye my friend

I have to live as who I’d be

Without a mask protecting me
