The Academy Is... Days Like Masquerades lyrics

I said, hey, you, this is me
The idealist inside that holds your love
On a string, wound and tied like kites
To all your hopes and dreams

What a tangled mess
That they've turned out to be
Take a breath
And ask yourself what matters

Days like masquerades
Silent, hiding in the shadows
Oh, stripped of their disguise

Leaves you haunted as you scatter
But you're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

When you feel lost out at sea
Surrounded by unequal sides
The same routine, becoming what you swore
You'd never be, don't distress

There's a big bright place
If you stay close to me
Take a breath

And I'll show you what matters

Days like masquerades
Silent, hiding in the shadows
Oh, stripped of their disguise

Leaves you haunted as you scatter
But you're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind

Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters
Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters

Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel what matters
Days like masquerades
Take a breath and feel, a breath and feel
