Masquerade Ball

Alone in the dark
She sits upon the ground
Humming to herself
Waiting to be found


Hidden behind a mask
You can find the real me
Help me let it out
Help it to be free


Noises in the hall
Sitting silent now
He marches through the door
You found her, but how


Feathery mask
Colors flashing bright
But thats not who you are
Not on the inside


Over in the corner
She's curled up in a ball
Not moving one inch
Not answering his call


Just take off the mask
Let it fall to the floor
Just be who you are
The fake be no more


Light streams through the window
He takes a few steps back
She's not that person anymore
No 'barbie' on a rack


The mask falls into the flames
Making the fire spit
Your mask, your scapegoat
More memories to forget
