[Piano plays a lilting melody]

Step right up, my dear,
The show’s about to start.
Take a mask, a smile, a sneer,
Choose your perfect part.

[Clarinet weaves a soft countermelody]

Are you the fool or the sage tonight?
The queen or the pawn in disguise?

(Oh, can you see?)
The mirrors bend the light,
Twisting truths behind your eyes.

[Clarinet crescendos into a lively trill]
Masks and mirrors, smoke and glass,
Dancing shadows that we cast.
Who are you when the lights grow dim?
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Who’s behind the porcelain grin?
(Do you dare look within?)

[Instrumental Interlude: Dark Dreamy Swing]

[Piano softens, brushed drums whisper]

You wear your mask so well,
A perfect crafted lie.
But listen, can you hear the bell?
It’s time to wonder why.

[Clarinet responds in a low, winding tone]

Are you lost in your charade?
The role you’ve worn so long?
(Oh, can you see?)
Or are you just afraid
To join a different song?

[Clarinet and piano build together]

Masks and mirrors, smoke and glass,
Dancing shadows that we cast.
Who are you when the lights grow dim?
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Who’s behind the porcelain grin?

[Theremin hums, piano strikes a single note repeatedly]

Step out from the shadows, love,
Drop the veil, if you dare.
In the vastness up above,
Stars are watching everywhere.

[Upright bass and brushed drums quicken, clarinet lifts with an urgent trill]

Masks and mirrors, smoke and glass,
Dancing shadows that we cast.
Who are you when the lights grow dim?
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Who’s behind the porcelain grin?

[Piano slows, theremin wails softly]
Ahhh...
The dance ends when you decide.
(Do you dare? Do you dare?)
Let the mask slip, and see inside.

[Clarinet fades with a melancholic note, piano finishes with a delicate trill]
