Fairly up-tempo driving acoustic rock - this is just the first take, I've got other instruments to add yet!
Acoustic Rock music
At the moment the band is me on vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and harmonica......
Story behind the song
It's yet another of those Guitarnoise projects - suggested by the theme "Everybody Lies."
Lyrics
Masquerade.
Lies and confusion, deception, delusion,
Dishonest collusion, a veil of illusion,
Smoke and mirrors and legerdemain,
Treachery, chicanery and sleight of hand.
Like surgical steel, your false words cut deep,
And the bitter sting of the tears we weep,
Like salt rubbed into an open sore,
Makes the pain more real, more primal and raw...
Evasions and perjury, your stock-in-trade,
Borrowed plumes conceal your real shade,
Your Machiavellian sly intrigues,
Are tangled webs you artfully weave,
Like surgical steel, your false words cut deep,
And the bitter sting of the tears we weep,
Like salt rubbed into an open sore,
Makes the pain more real, more primal and raw...
What lies behind the masquerade,
Behind the public persona you made,
The smiling facade hides the real you,
Behind the mask there's a bitter truth...
Like surgical steel, your false words cut deep,
And the bitter sting of the tears we weep,
Like salt rubbed into an open sore,
Makes the pain more real, primal and raw...
