Lyrics:

Angst under misery
Only in due time should you have your way
Plagued with no honesty
Never to my face did you say a word

Hate wears a mask
Lets you down easily
Hate wears a mask
If only they'd show their face
If only they'd show their face

Anguish and envy
Suffer on your own won't these demons die
Vain ego, tone deaf
Set to shoot you down just as you might rise

Hate wears a mask
Lets you down easily
Hate wears a mask
If only they'd show their face

We're the enemy of our own
With the memories that we've shown
We'll come crawling back to you
Between the flesh and bone
You've lost more than what we've known
And now we're crawling back to you
And now we're crawling back to you
And now we're crawling back to

Hate masquerade
Operate
On the table of demise
Masquerade
Love parade
To leave you broken mortified
Shut you down while you're alive

Hate masquerade
Operate
On the table of demise
Masquerade
Love parade
To leave you broken mortified
Shut you down while you're alive
Shut you down while you're alive

Oh how it kills me
Kills me to come clean in this envy slough
Pain comes with honesty
And if I couldn't hate that would be untrue

We're the enemy of our own
With the memories that we've shown
We'll come crawling back to you
Between the flesh and bone
You've lost more than what we've known
Now we're crawling back to you
And now we're crawling back to you
And now we're crawling back to you
