They're saying their words
Acting like they mean something other than a fallen bird
Hey baby, Watch the masquerade
We can laugh at the happiness they parade.

There's a fire starting just below the stage
No-one knows though 'cause they're caught up in whats all the rage
As they act like the people by them mean something
Hey, let's burn this place to the ground why don't we?
We're the only real ones i can see.

There's a smile on her face
Wearing a fancy dress with plenty of lace
But really she's always just been a disgrace
Now she's coming back with with her madness
She said, "Let's burn this place."

Isn't it tragic?
This is your downfall
Isn't it magic?
She's free from her acting
Let's burn this place down
Dignify the madness that came back around.

Crisis at the masquerade
Destroying the fabrication of joy they made
She runs free where she was supposed to be
Now she can see.

Crisis at the masquerade
Masks hiding our intentions
But didn't you know
The girl that's again who she should be
The crisis at the masquerade is me.

There's a smile on her face
Wearing a fancy dress with plenty of lace
But really she's just a disgrace
Now she's coming back with her madness
She says "Let's burn this place."

The crisis at the masquerade
Ruins the people's false parade
Not much left to be said
Look at them still smiling like the fools they are when they're dead.
