Face Paint Lyrics

Why must we falter?
Why must we live in fear?
Why must we masquerade?
Yet drown in our own tears...

Please wake up from your sleepless slumber
Please end the sorrow
Let your shattered heart be taken far away
Hate to begin another day

A thin disguise to hide the sorrow
A veil of lies to hide the truth
A mask of hope made to forget
A memory that once was you

The brilliant colors
Play tricks within the light

Gentle strokes over crimson, black and blue
Your mood is seeming bright

But the mirror never lies
Secrets come to view
No, the mirror never cries
The stains come from deep inside of you

Your secrets come to view

A thin disguise to hide the sorrow
A veil of lies to hide the truth
A mask of hope made to forget
A memory that once was you

A thin disguise to hide the sorrow
A veil of lies to hide the truth
A mask of hope made to forget
A memory that once was you

Paint your face
Cover up the pain
Brush away the cracks
Floods from years of rain

Why must we falter?
Why must we live in fear?

Why must we masquerade?
Yet drown in our own tears...

You've got to wake up from your sleepless slumber
Please end the sorrow
Let your shattered heart be taken far away
Hate to begin another day

A thin disguise to hide the sorrow
A veil of lies to hide the truth
A mask of hope made to forget
A memory that once was you

A thin disguise to hide the sorrow
A veil of lies to hide the truth
A mask of hope made to forget
A memory that once was you
