Masquerade Lyrics

First a glance and then a crooked smile
Draw him in and let the games begin
If he doesn't ask, she will not tell
She paints the picture, oh so well
When we lie
Oh, what tangled webs that we weave
When at first we practice to deceive
We become a slave to make believing

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
If I'm found out before I wake
I pray the Lord my secrets take

Well rehearsed he baits the hook of pride
Reel her in while she's self-satisfied
Get a feel for what she's looking for
Give her that, you're in the door

When we lie
Oh, what tangled webs that we weave
When at first we practice to deceive
We become a slave to make believing
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
If I'm found out before I wake
I pray the Lord my secrets take

Truth casts a shadow
Hard to conceal but darkness blurs the flaws
The light reveals
Charm is deceitful
And flattery is vain but in the dark of the hunt
The veil remains
Oh, what tangled webs that we weave
We practice to deceive
We become a slave to make believing

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
If I'm found out before I wake
I pray the Lord my secrets take

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
If I'm found out before I wake
I pray the Lord my secrets take

Alalala, lalalala la
Alalala, lalala
