Brook Angeles - Masquerade Lyrics

Holidays and holy days
And sacred days and lonely days
39 nights and 40 days and nowadays
I dream of better ways and many ways to wash away the pain
I get lost on the swings of the playground of yesterday

Escaping to an escapade a bright parade lights ablaze
Smiling faces a swaying breeze memories a lifetime away
Gently strumming my guitar peacefully to a hammock space
Rocking ignorant and gleefully masking all the rain
My own life a masquerade
My own life a masquerade

The phantoms dance the chandelier inside my mind lights the way
The mild displays move excuse motions changes phrases
Taking trains to far off places catching planes to empty spaces
Creating shadows laughing at the grace of god we chose to take
The one I love like a masquerade
The one I love like a masquerade

Took the one I love in a graceless way build a road to pave the way
Filled with faces we never see tears between a makeshift charade
Against the grain I shaved to purposely learn from my mistakes
A lonely maze of endless turns and twists of fate
Brain hair pacing moves to make the dream come true
Alone amidst the day the seconds laugh a quest to unfold
And the answer you say I just don't care watch it move
Until they all fade away when I remember
In my own life masquerade
My own life masquerade

Why don't you come with me on a journey
Or get away?
My own life masquerade

Why don't you come with me on a journey
Or get away?

Get away
Get away
Get away
