Masquerade of Hearts

This started out as a poem, but as it developed, it got a rhythm of syllables and so it turned out to be lyrics fit for a song. The subject can be about relationship with friends, lover of family.

1st Verse:

My lips are curved to smile

I have stayed for a while

But my eyes are shadowed by mask

You cannot see them rose

'Cause my voice never rose

And nor I never dared to ask

I need you to set me free

See, you don't really know me

In silence soul is screaming

As in vain I am dreaming

That some day I would change

Which for you I'd arrange

Tolerating this lie

Inside making me die

Chorus:

This mask is worn too long

Oh, how it feels so wrong

I do love you, but see

I want you to know me

One day, one night I'll leave

Through pain it will relieve

As my mind and body parts

From masquerade of hearts

2nd Verse:

I'm cold or so I seem

Inside my embers beam

Secret and hot have been waiting

To spark fire again

Long time ago back then

Much passion it was creating

I am sure that you're not blind

That my heart has been aligned

Somewhere else than in this room

Where illusions brightly bloom

I hope you forgive me

I don't want to hurt thee

But the time has arrived

As flame is now revived

~Chorus~
