Lyrics
We act our roles
And play the game
Go through the motions all the same
But there's only
So much we don't say
Before we'll walk away
We're running out of time
This road's getting lonely
It's wearing thin
And it's no surprise
We're true to the lie
That everything's alright
When at best
There's little love left
And not much in sight
No one is right
No one wins tonight
Let's address
The little love left
Before it's too late to try
It's getting old
This you and I
Our tired pantomime
Yet we play the
Masquerade
As the masks fall from our face
We're running from the facts
But the truth is fast approaching
The ice is cracking
It's no wonder why
We're true to the lie
That everything's alright
When at best
There's little love left
And not much in sight
No one is right
No one wins tonight
Let's address
The little love left
Before it's too late to try
I'm not sure that I
Can take it anymore
Something has to give
Or something has to change
So burn down
The hate of yesterday
And let's try
To turn us around
We're true to the lie
That everything's alright
When at best
There's little love left
And not much in sight
No one is right
No one wins tonight
Let's address
The little love left
Before it's too late to try
Before we implode
I need you to know
I still love you
