Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tearing me apart with words you wouldn't say
Suddenly tomorrow's moment washed away
Cause I don't have a reason and you don't have the time
But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find
[Verse 2]
The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
Shadows floating over, scars begin to fade
You said it was forever, but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
The final masquerade
[Verse 3]
All I ever wanted, the secrets that you keep
All you ever wanted, the truth I couldn't speak
Cause I can't see forgiveness and you can't see the crime
If we both keep on waiting for what we left behind
[Verse 4]
The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
Shadows floating over, scars begin to fade
You said it was forever, but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
The final masquerade
The final masquerade
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
[Verse 5]
The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
Shadows floating over, scars begin to fade
You said it was forever, but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
Oh, oh
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
Oh, oh
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
The final masquerade
Oh
