Masquerade You asked me to the masquerade and I willingly complied but I’m tired of wearing this dress for the feathers in my costume won’t stop licking my face and you cannot see the tears falling behind my mask - When you seethe price they pay I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade, you say but the price is too high for I don’t want to wear a mask with you, and I would only hope that I don’t have to.
