Masquerade
Masquerade of Deception: Unraveling the Intricate Dance of Lies
Lyrics
First a glance and then a crooked smile
Initiation of a flirtatious encounter with a smile
Draw him in and let the games begin
Engaging in the interaction and starting a complex game
If he doesn't ask she will not tell
Keeping secrets unless prompted to reveal them
She paints the picture oh so well
Expertly crafting a deceptive facade
When we lie
Reflection on the act of lying
Oh what tangled webs we weave
Warning about the intricate lies we create
When at first we practice to deceive
Quoting the idea that deception is challenging to control
We become a slave to make believing
Being enslaved by the act of pretending
Now I lay me down to sleep
Praying for secrecy during sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
Requesting divine protection for hidden truths
If I'm found out before I wake
Fearing exposure before waking
I pray the Lord my secrets take
Asking for divine intervention to keep secrets if exposed
Well rehearsed he baits the hook of pride
Skillfully using pride to manipulate
Reel her in while she's self-satisfied
Capturing someone's attention when they are self-satisfied
Get a feel for what she's lookin' for
Understanding the desires of the target
Give her that, you're in the door
Providing what is desired to gain entry
When we lie
Reiteration of the complexities of lying
Oh what tangled webs we weave
Repeating the warning about the intricate lies we create
When at first we practice to deceive
Reiterating the difficulty of controlling deception
We become a slave to make believing
Continuing the theme of becoming enslaved by falsehoods
Now I lay me down to sleep
Repeating the prayer for secrecy during sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
Reiterating the request for divine protection for hidden truths
If I'm found out before I wake
Repeating the fear of exposure before waking
I pray the Lord my secrets take
Reiterating the plea for divine intervention if secrets are exposed
Truth casts a shadow hard to conceal
Acknowledging the difficulty of concealing the truth
But darkness blurs the flaws the light reveals
Highlighting how darkness hides imperfections revealed by light
Charm is deceitful and flattery is vain
Pointing out the deceptive nature of charm and flattery
But in the dark of the hunt the veil remains
Emphasizing the persistence of deception in the dark
When we lie
Reiteration of the complexities of lying
Oh what tangled webs we weave
Repeating the warning about the intricate lies we create
When at first we practice to deceive
Reiterating the difficulty of controlling deception
We become a slave to make believing
Continuing the theme of becoming enslaved by falsehoods
Now I lay me down to sleep
Repeating the prayer for secrecy during sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
Reiterating the request for divine protection for hidden truths
If I'm found out before I wake
Repeating the fear of exposure before waking
I pray the Lord my secrets take
Reiterating the plea for divine intervention if secrets are exposed
Now I lay me down to sleep
Final repetition of the prayer for secrecy during sleep
I pray the Lord my secrets keep
Final repetition of the request for divine protection for hidden truths
If I'm found out before I wake
Final repetition of the fear of exposure before waking
I pray the Lord my secrets take
Final repetition of the plea for divine intervention if secrets are exposed
