Masked ball

Put on a mask
A happy face
While the world crumbles from the inside out
A broken heart
Leads to a smashed hope
A corrupted dream
The hem of your skirt hits the floor with a silent plea
The drumming of glass slippers hitting the floor
To the beat of a beautiful dance
Arm in Arm
And Hand in Hand
His arms around your waist
Your backbone for the night
Holding you with pride and grace
Delicacy and romance
A smashed delight
The Candle Burns
Ashes to Ashes
Row after row
Tell me oh sweet one
What has become of the love?
So put on a happy face
And make a show today
Put on a happy smile tonight
And dine out in delight
While the inside crumbles,
The outside stands still a perfect beauty
