This phantom pain I feel
Is crawling up my spine
Every time I hear your voice
I know that it's a lie

Nothing's what it seems to be
But I am on to you
The masquerade that you portray
Is sure to come unglued

From what I see
You twist everything
I analyze your sincerity
Time will tell if you're for real
Or a masquerade of good intentions

If I choose to let you in
I'll have to watch my back
I keep my eye on the prize
No matter what the task

I see the fire burning red
I see it in your face
This you cannot hide my friend
Your blood gives you away
From what I see
You twist everything
I analyze your sincerity
Time will tell if you're for real
Or a masquerade of good intentions

Grant me just this one request
And spare your twisted words
The sound of your voice
Is grinding on my nerves
The masquerade that you portray
Is sure to come unglued
You know how to find the door
There's nothing here for you

From what I see
You twist everything
I analyze your sincerity
Time will tell if you're for real
Or a masquerade of good intentions
