Masquerade

///*****/// [Intro – 0:00–0:22 | Pads + piano, no drums] Faces in the mirror Blur into the night Every truth is hidden Out of reach, out of sight Whispers in the silence Telling me to stay But I feel the pressure Of this masquerade ⸻ [Build 1 – 0:22–0:45 | Kick + tension] Every smile’s a cover Every word’s rehearsed Dancing with the shadows Trying to reverse All the lies between us All we never say Are we lost forever In this masquerade ⸻ [Pre-Drop – 0:45–1:00 | Snare build] Take the mask off, let it fall I don’t wanna hide at all ⸻ [Drop 1 – 1:00–1:30 | Main drop] This masquerade We’re fading in the dark Hiding who we are This masquerade Every tear we fake Every move we make We’re breaking in the dark This masquerade ⸻ [Post-Drop – 1:30–1:45 | Instrumental tail] ⸻ [Verse 2 – 1:45–2:15 | Minimal drums] Standing in the spotlight But I feel alone Every perfect moment Feels like it’s unknown Reaching for the real us Through the empty space Trying to remember Life beyond the fake ⸻ [Build 2 – 2:15–2:40 | Bigger energy] Feel it rising, can’t escape Cracks are showing in the paint ⸻ [Pre-Drop 2 – 2:40–3:00 | Snare + riser] Let it shatter, let it break No more living in this fake ⸻ [Drop 2 – 3:00–3:30 | Bigger drop] This masquerade We’re tearing it apart Bleeding through the dark This masquerade No more hiding pain No more playing safe We’re done with the charade This masquerade ⸻ [Breakdown – 3:30–4:00 | Piano/emotional] If the truth is all we’ve got Let it rise above it all Even if the masks all fall We won’t fade ⸻ [Final Drop – 4:00–4:30 | Full energy] This masquerade We’re rising from the dark Showing who we are This masquerade No more running scared Now we’re standing bare We finally escape This masquerade ⸻ [Outro – 4:30–4:50 | Fade out] This masquerade… Fade away…
