Masquerade

from The Afternoonist by Harmonic Blue

/

lyrics

Whats the point of it all
An illusion of harmony with everyone getting along

Nobody seems to care
What lies behind the mask that they know
Its all a quaint affair
A masquerade

Nobody seems to care
What lies behind the curtain shade no
Its all Laissez faire
A serenade

I said hey man
Don’t tell me one thing and then you go and you pull the strings
Its all a show for flare
A masquerade

Nobody seems to share
The thought that what we’re told’s a lie
So we don’t protest what’s fair
Or even ask why

I said hey man,
Don’t tell me one thing and then you go and you pull the strings
Its all a show for flare
A masquerade

And in the chiming echoes of the judgement clock
For a second, you question your choice to block
Away the grief and pain from those outside
Before resuming your waltz, forgetting that you’d lied

Whats the point of it all
An Illusion of harmony with everyone getting along

Nobody seems to care
What lies behind the world that they know
Its all a lie I swear,
A masquerade

But you know, but you know,
Hey, that’s how it goes
Hey, that’s how it goes
Its all a show for flare, a masquerade
And I don’t want no part
I don’t want no part at all
