Masquerade
Dawn of Silence Lyrics

I was born
I came into existence

To this darkened world
To a world that lacks light or hope

Still I'm flying on broken wings
Despite being broken or hurt, I keep going

One I've tried to make a difference
I attempted to change things for the better

But what's or right or wrong?
I am unsure of what is morally correct

I've failed to see
I have not been able to understand

Now I'm trying to remember
I am attempting to recall

Who I'm once were
Who I used to be in the past

Who I'm supposed to be
Who I ought to become

I'm a slave of the darkness
I am a captive of the negativity and hopelessness around me

Born to serve
Created to assist or obey

Live to loose
Exist to fail or suffer

In this God forsaken world
In a place that appears abandoned or rejected by a higher power

I close my eyes
I shut my eyelids

Wonder if I'm going insane
Questioning my mental stability

Hearing voices in the night
Perceiving auditory hallucinations during the dark hours

Every time I try to rise I fall
Whenever I strive for success or improvement, I end up failing

Wasted time I lived to please you
I spent my life attempting to make someone else happy, but it did not have a good outcome

For you forever
Forever dedicated to you

Behind these walls
Within a confined or restricted space

I am trapped behind this surface
I am confined by my physical or emotional exterior

Living my life in this masquerade
Faking my identity or feelings while leading my life

Dreaming of flying away
Fantasizing about fleeing from my current situation

Is this really
Is this genuinely

What this life should bring
What I should expect from my existence

Is it all it has to give?
Is this all this life has to offer?

Now I'm wonder in delusion
Now I am questioning in a state of confusion or delirium

To feel my life is all that I strive
To sense as if my existence is everything I aim for

But I'm not sure that I want to see
However, I am unsure if I desire to understand the whole truth

The truth of the dark parts
The facts about the negative side

Of my mind that is haunting me
Of my thoughts that give me intense fear or anxiety

So many times
Numerous times

Thought of running away
Considered fleeing from this place

Just to leave it all behind
Just to abandon everything or everyone here

All my dreams
All my ambitions or aspirations

Where have they gone?
What became of them?

Tried to see the light
Attempted to find hope or positivity

To reach out for the sun
To aim for something seemingly unattainable

Still my heart is beading
Despite everything, my heart is still pumping

But what is left inside
But what remains in me

Can't escape the wrath of time
Unable to avoid the negative effects of aging or the passage of time

I'm a slave to the darkness
I am a captive of the negativity and hopelessness around me

To live by the rules
To adhere to the predetermined regulations
