A Gilded Masquerade

Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] As the water drips from the sky, I start to wander If I'm still alive, then I have to find the answer Could it be that it was a dream and I'm still beside her? Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise, the water stops [Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Wickedness will rain and drown us in her sorrow and her thirst If I hope to survive, I must think faster; I'm losing ground [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] Should I pull back the veil? [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness [Verse 2: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Temples crashing down all around me, panic chokes the streets The golden city falls, and with it, our lives go up in flames [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] Should I pull back the veil? [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness [Bridge: Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke, Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee] (All shall be made clear) We've been watching you wander (My blood runs cold) There's no need to run farther (I fear I know the truth) Come into our arms, brother (I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes) Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? [Interlude] (Yeah) (Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey) [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I pull back the veil [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] You had the best of me (Now taste the worst) All that glimmers is not gold I may be wrong, but your brilliance is my darkness You had me convinced that together we could fly Until I started scratching at the surface (And I saw beyond your masquerade) Your body is an illness And I'm sickened by the thought of you, I may never be the same again [Outro: Shawn Milke] (I may never be the same again)
