Masquerade Show
It’s time for the show
Put on your mask
It makes the act
Get out there and see more and more people everyday
Change yourself
Look different, act different
This pleases them
Take off your costume, take off your mask
Lately, that outfit is looking more like you
And that mask just won’t come off
You’re an original
Outrageous, wild, and you don’t care about what the audience thinks
But, through it all, you’re too concerned
If you become anything close to predictable
Well, that’d be the end of this character
Isn’t it pure irony that in order to please your audience,
You put on this charade,
Disguise yourself as someone who's so nonchalant about others' opinions?
Do you want admirers,
Or simply viewers?
Sympathy,
Or someone to notice that you’re not perfect?
You accept your imperfections,
But you put forth no effort into changing them
It’s time to get ready for the show
This is the show,
And it may never end.
