Days Like Masquerades - The Academy Is...

I said

Hey you, this is me

The idealist inside that holds your love

On a string

Wound and tied like kites to all your hopes and dreams

What a tangled mess that they’ve turned out to be

Take a breath, and ask yourself what matters

Days like masquerades, silent, hiding in the shadows

Stripped of their disguise leave you haunted as you scatter

But you’re always on my mind

You’re always on my mind

When you feel lost out at sea, surrounded by on equal sides the same routine

Becoming what you swore you’d never be.

Don’t distress, there’s a big bright

place if you stay close to me

Take a breath, and I’ll show you what matters

Days like masquerades, silent, hiding in the shadows

Stripped of their disguise leave you haunted as you scatter

But you’re always on my mind

You’re always on my mind

You’re always on my mind

You’re always on my mind

Days like masquerades, take a breath and feel what matters

Take a breath and feel it
