Masquerade

I live in an echo,
A cascade across my heart,
I wait for my moment,
Crying alone in the dark

My words fall out silent,
Streamlined in the wind,
If only to capture your soul,
If only to hide where I've been

We cry and we laugh,
Eyes dancing with life,
We call to the stars,
We call to the night

Walls built upon walls,
Our act do we play,
With our masks,
Our beauty,
Our image at stake

I see and I'm blind,
I taste and I feel,
I love and I hate,
I'm fake yet I'm real

I live inside a moment,
I dream wide awake,
I am evil,
I am good,
And as I give,
Now must I take
