Masquerade, a game of charades A black parade day after day I am an imposter of a man Believing what others say I am I am a bastard without a chance I can't tell them I am a master without a plan Masquerade, a game of charades A million ways that I break my promise Over again and again if I'm honest A black parade day after day Stuck in the shame of these late nights calling That's just the game that we play, it's ironic Masquerade I can't run faster for you, my friend Thinking that we've finally reached the end I am a bastard without a chance I can't tell them I am a master without a plan Masquerade, a game of charades A million ways that I break my promise Over again and again if I'm honest A black parade day after day Stuck in the shame of these late nights calling That's just the game that we play, it's ironic Masquerade Fake the night away The wicked pawns they play Confide in me I am an imposter of a man Believing what others say I am Go Masquerade, a game of charades A million ways that I break my promise Over again and again if I'm honest A black parade day after day Stuck in the shame of these late nights calling That's just the game that we play, it's ironic Masquerade
