A face will still pursue you

Masquerade! /Paper faces on parade/Masquerade! /Hide your face so the world will never find you/Masquerade! /Every face a different shade/Masquerade! /Look around, there's another mask behind you.

Flash of mauve/Splash of puce/Fool and king/Ghoul and goose/Green and black/Queen and priest/Trace of rouge/Face of beast/Faces!/Take your turn, take a ride/On the merry-go-round/in an inhuman race/Eye of gold/True is false/Who is who?/Curl of lip/Swirl of gown/Ace of hearts/Face of clown/Faces!/Drink it in, drink it up/Till you've drowned/In the light/In the sound/But who can name the face?

Masquerade! /Grinning yellows, spinning reds/Masquerade! /Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you/Masquerade! /Burning glances, turning heads/Masquerade!/Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you/Masquerade!/Seething shadows breathing lies/Masquerade!/You can fool any friend who ever knew you/Masquerade!/Leering satyrs, peering eyes/Masquerade!/Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you.

Current Mood: Loneliness

Reason for this song: Escape!

I may be weak, but I'm never defeated

I'm going home downhearted and hoping I'm close to some new beginning I know there's a reason for everything that comes and goes But so many people are looking to me To be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving I may be weak but I'm never defeated And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining Most days I try my best to put on a brave face But inside my bones are cold and my heart breaks But all the while something's keeping me safe and alive But so many people are looking to me To be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving I may be weak but I'm never defeated And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining And I won't give up like this, I will be given strength Now that I've found it nothing can take that away So many people are looking to me To be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving I may be weak but I'm never defeated And I'll keep believing So many people are looking to me To be strong and to fight but I'm just surviving I may be weak but I'm never defeated And I'll keep believing in clouds with that sweet silver lining Sweet silver lining

Current Mood: Defeated
Reason for Song: Need to get my Popeye on!
