::::Lyrics::::

Verse 1
I came in holding my breath
Like maybe I’d say the wrong thing
Hands in my pockets, head down
Trying to stay out of everyone's way
Everyone talks like they know
Exactly where they’re supposed to be
I’m standing off to the side
Learning who I don’t want to be
---
Pre-Chorus
Nobody warned me how quiet it gets
When you realize you’re on your own
I stopped waiting for someone to explain
And started taking notes
---
Chorus
Welcome to the masquerade
Where dangerous minds await
I learned the rules at a slower pace
But I learned them all the same
I used to be afraid
Now I know how to play
Welcome to the masquerade
Where I learned what not to say
---
Verse 2
I watched who laughed at the right time
Who stayed careful with their tone
I saw how truth gets edited
Before it ever gets shown
I used to think being honest
Was the same as being brave
Now I see how people survive
By choosing every word they say
---
Pre-Chorus
It’s not about being better than them
It’s just knowing when to speak
You don’t stay innocent for long
When you learn how power thinks
---
Chorus
Welcome to the masquerade
Where dangerous minds await
I learned the rules at a slower pace
But I learned them all the same
I used to be afraid
Now I know how to play
Welcome to the masquerade
Where I learned what not to say
---
Bridge
I don’t miss the version of me
That thought the world was kind
I don’t miss walking in blind
Calling it peace of mind
There’s comfort in the distance
There’s clarity in control
I didn’t lose myself
I just learned the role
---
Chorus
Welcome to the masquerade
Where dangerous minds await
I learned the rules at a slower pace
But I learned them all the same
I used to be afraid
Now I know how to play
Welcome to the masquerade
Where I learned what not to say
---
Outro
I used to stand outside
Trying to be understood
And now I am one of you
