Secrets can be dangerous things,
some we tell but most we keep.
Once let loose, they spread like disease,
far and wide as wildflower seeds

So we all take part and march in this parade
We learn our lines as actors on a stage
where we're just faces hiding in a masquerade.

I can hear you say you don't play games
but humankind is one in the same
we all tell lies to trick and deceive
To cover and hide our hearts from our sleeves

So we all take part and march in this parade
We learn our lines as actors on a stage
where we're just faces hiding in a masquerade.
