The Great Masquerade
November 18, 2009
In these “hallowed halls”
Full of social blunders and falls
With every second of every hour
A new person rises to power
Where no one says what they mean
And nothing is as it may seem
Mixed signals they’re all sending
Everyone is just pretending
The largest known masquerade
Complete with its own fool’s parade
People fading in and out
It’s all for one without a doubt
You follow the crowd
Never saying your ideas out loud
Like a coward you don’t dare
To put yourself out there
It only lasts a few years
So kid be tough, soak up the tears
