lyrics

You wore a smile to the masquerade
and you blended into the crowd.
You wear a mask on work days
so your boss can remember who you are.
You bring a flask to church on Sunday,
take a sip when the devil feels near.
You curse God for not giving you hands
to cover your eyes, mouth and ears.

Do you regret the nights that we stayed awake?
And what did you gain from the risk you refused to take?

You have a history of preventing the future
and I have a habit of forgetting the past
and we've been circling around this town
like red fingernails around a champagne glass.

Do you regret the nights that we stayed awake?
And what did you gain from the risks you refused to take?

Life is long but it feels short
when you go to bed and go to work.

Life is long but it feels short
when you end up right back where you were.
