Masquerade 03:53
Verse 1: These metronome men and their clockwork careers They dream the same dreams They fear the same fears What ever happened to all of those years? Just a gold pocket watch For all of that blood, sweat, toil and tears Pre-Chorus: All that glitters can never be gold All that shimmers can always be sold All that differs can never be told Chorus: Masquerade … In this city of dreams Masquerade … It’s not all what it seems Masquerade … Watch the people go round Masquerade … In this carousel town Verse 2: These harlequin harlots And their festival flair Fake smiles, fake _______ Fake nails, and fake hair What ever happened to joy and despair? Just an old broken mask For all of that faith, hope, love, and care Pre-Chorus: All that glitters can never be gold All that shimmers can always be sold All that differs can never be told Chorus: Masquerade … In this city of dreams Masquerade … It’s not all what it seems Masquerade … Watch the people go round Masquerade … In this carousel town Bridge: Where is my angel? Where is he now? I’ve written my (magnum) opus And the ink’s all but run out Chorus: Masquerade … In this city of dreams Masquerade … It’s not all what it seems Masquerade … Watch the people go round Masquerade … In this carousel town

Broken Man 04:10
Verse 1: When I look into your eyes As you’re staring back at me I shiver in your void So cold and so empty Verse 2: I gasp a little breath The words still on my lips The air feels silent cold Against my fingertips Pre-Chorus: And I don’t know what to say And I don’t know what to do To bring you back to life From this death/depth you’ve fallen into Chorus: For all the battles that we win The wars that we lose The blood still on your sword The dust still on your boots As you walk out of my life As you fall out of my hands I wonder just which step Made you a broken man Verse 3: When I hold your calloused hands As you’re gripping tight to me I shudder in your grasp So hard and so angry Verse 4: I cry a little tear The pain still in my eyes The sadness in my soul All bundled up inside Pre-Chorus: And I don’t know what to say And I don’t know what to do To bring you back to life From this death/depth you’ve fallen into Chorus: For all the battles that we win The wars that we lose The blood still on your sword The dust still on your boots As you walk out of my life As you fall out of my hands I wonder just which step Made you so broken Bridge: I know the road is long And I know heaven’s far away But I know that you’ll carry on And come back to me someday Chorus: For all the battles that we win The wars that we lose The blood still on your sword The dust still on your boots As you walk out of my life You fall out of my hands I wonder just which step Made you so … Outro: I can be the love I can be the life I can be the heaven You’ve come so far to find I can be the victory That makes you strong and whole I can be the lasting peace That mends your broken soul

Verse 1: You were sharp as a knife You were quick as a whip Never valued your life Always shot from the hip Verse 2: You were hard as stone You were cold as ice Always got what you’re owed Never had to ask twice Pre-Chorus: There’s no right or wrong It’s just do or die When you live by the gun You’re either dead or alive Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town Verse 3: You were tough as nails You were strong as steel Never thought you could fail No matter the deal Verse 4: You were fierce as the wind You were deep as the sea You’d neither break nor bend It’s die or live free Pre-Chorus: There’s no right or wrong It’s just do or die When you live by the gun You’re either dead or alive Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town You’re playing Russian Roulette At high noon By the old saloon So stake your claim And take your aim It’s only five live rounds Bridge: You gambled your life All chips in But you can never play dice With the devil and win Chorus: You’re riding roughshod Spurs on In the hot sun With your six gun And your quick draw Like an outlaw In the Sheriff’s town You’re playing Russian Roulette At high noon By the old saloon So stake your claim And take your aim It’s only five live rounds * * * Note: A standard game of Russian Roulette with a six gun involves only one round for a 1/6 chance of dying. But there are plenty of non-standard variants, including the inverse, with five rounds for a 1/6 chance of living.

Verse 1: They all hang around you 
 Like you've got the answer 
 But I know that you don't 
 Your lies spread right through them 
 And grow like a cancer 
 It's fueling your ego 
 Verse 2: You walk down the halls 
 Ruling it all 
 Your clique at your side 
 All vanity and pride 
 They all fell in line 
 Following every sign 
 Never seeing what's inside 
 Chorus: You're playing puppeteer 
 You're pulling the strings 
 The people in your life are just your playthings 
 You do it all out of fear 
 Cause you're the master puppeteer 
 Post-Chorus: They're not really your friends 
 Just a means to an end 
 You think that you're playing them 
 But you're the one that's being played 
 Verse 3: You put on a mask 
 With a smile on your face 
 Hidden in disguise 
 And they all believed 
 While you lied and deceived 
 Every single line 
 Verse 4: You laugh and you flirt 
 Gossip and hurt 
 Insult and blame 
 All these petty games 
 And they laughed with you 
 Hiding all the pain 
 Hiding all the pain 
 Chorus: You're playing puppeteer 
 You're pulling the strings 
 The people in your life are just your playthings 
 You do it all out of fear 
 Cause you're the master puppeteer 
 Post-Chorus: They're not really your friends 
 Just a means to an end 
 You think that you're playing them 
 But you're the one that's being played 
 Bridge: Someday you will see 
 That what you want in your life
 Isn't what you need 
 And everyone around you knows 
 That you will end up all alone 
 Chorus: You're playing puppeteer 
 You're pulling the strings 
 The people in your life are just your playthings 
 You do it all out of fear 
 Cause you're the master puppeteer 
 Post-Chorus: They're not really your friends 
 Just a means to an end 
 You think that you're playing them 
 But you're the one that's being played

Verse 1: You’re like a puzzle that I can’t solve And yet my whole world revolves around you Tell me what do you want from me It’s time you claimed me or set me free Verse 2: You carry on like we’re something And yet I never see a ring on my hand Tell me what’s it that’s holding you back Loving you has got my whole life off track Chorus: Can’t you see Your ambiguity Is tearing me apart Every day You feel the need to play These little games with my heart Verse 3: You never seem to make up your mind Yet you don’t realize the time is now gone Oh, what is this, oh some kind of test All I know is you’re an ambiguous mess Chorus: Can’t you see Your ambiguity Is tearing me apart Every day You feel the need to play These little games with my heart [repeat 2x] Bridge: I’ve waited long enough For you to make up your mind This is my ultimatum No more debating Come here or get out of my life Chorus: Can’t you see Your ambiguity Is tearing me apart Every day You feel the need to play These little games with my heart [repeat 2x]

Angel 04:02
Verse 1: He’d known How I felt since the first day I’d always wanted more An angel Complete with white wings and purity I was so naïve Pre-Chorus: To think that he could ever give me what I need Empty promises he never intended to keep Chorus: My wings My protection He set them both to doubt One by one He torn each feather out Until I lay dying My face toward the sky Praying that some day again I would fly Verse 2: Does he know How I found out the truth How I found out about her He lied to me After all of my warnings About these shattered dreams Pre-Chorus: Now I look at life in quite a different way I feel like everyone’s trying to take my love away Chorus: My wings My protection He set them both to doubt One by one He torn each feather out Until I lay dying My face toward the sky Praying that some day again I would fly Bridge: I hope that you realize The weight of what you’ve done Stole my innocence and ability to love I thought you were heaven sent Clearly I was wrong How could you My best friend with my best friend All because of you Now both are gone Chorus: My wings My protection You set them both to doubt One by one You torn each feather out Until I lay dying My face toward the sky Praying that some day again I would fly

Verse 1: These words are so dear to me 
 Blended like a symphony 
 They are the last words that he said 
 Before I chose to forget 
 Verse 2: These rules are so clear to me 
 Woven like a tapestry 
 They are the rules that bind my heart 
 Dividing end from start 
 Pre-chorus: All my memories surround me 
 They take my life away 
 And everything I knew is different 
 In each and every way 
 Chorus: An "I do" and adieu 
 And I'm wanting to forget 
No I love you 
 When I leave you 
 With not a tear 
 Of one, single regret 
 Verse 3: The past is now lost to me 
 Faded like an inchoate dream 
 Though my memories have all but gone 
 Deep inside love still lingers on 
 Pre-chorus: All my memories surround me 
 They take my life away 
 Everything is different 
 In each and every way 
 Chorus: An "I do" and adieu 
 And I'm wanting to forget 
 No I love you 
 When I leave you 
 With not a tear 
 Of one, single regret 
 Bridge: I will always love you 
 I'll never leave you 
 You and I, together 
 For now and forever 
 I'll never love you 
 I'll will always leave you 
 You and I, never 
 Meant to be, ever 

 I love you 
 I loved you 
 Always and forever 
 I love you 
 I loved you 
 Together, you and I 
 Chorus: An "I do" and adieu 
 And I'm wanting to forget 
 That I love you 
 When I leave you 
 With not a tear 
 Of one, single regret 
 Outro: I don't regret it 
 I just have to forget 
 All we've known 
 It's just willful amnesia 
 And it's gone 
 And it's gone

Verse 1: When did it get so hard To see a way out of this place 
 We stand here bruised and scarred 
 Trying so hard 
 To keep a smile on our face 
 Verse 2: We carry all this pain 
 With us through the night and the day 
 When we can't think 
 Of anything else to say 
 We just turn away 
 Pre-chorus: But I know that where we're going 
 Everything is going our way 
 Chorus: When we wake on Sunday Morning 
 Everything fills with warm sunshine 
 And the whole world wakes with us 
 Our love, begins on Sunday Morning 
 Verse 3: Now it's all in the past 
 Everything's perfect 
 Here at last 
 Now that our lives are simple and clean 
 We've finally broken free 
 Pre-chorus: And I know that where we're going 
 Everything is going our way 
 Chorus: When we wake on Sunday Morning 
 Everything fills with warm sunshine 
 And the whole world wakes with us 
 Our love, begins on Sunday Morning 
 Bridge: And through it all 
 We kept on fighting, on 
 Through the things that try to bring us down 
 They're nowhere near us now 
 We've made it to the dawn 
 Chorus: When we wake on Sunday Morning 
 Everything fills with warm sunshine 
 And the whole world wakes with us 
 Our love, begins on Sunday Morning 
 It's a brand new morning
