[hometext] => this is my view of life as an analogy
[bodytext] => Can you sing, can you dance, can you play? Always, always, always, live for today. Come to the ball. Dance through the hall. A glorious day for all to play. A mask is needed to play this way. Hide thine face, so you can stay. Watch them twirl and dance. Behind your mask, watch them prance. Their eyes, telling a wishfull story Of better days, of timeless glory. Look behind those eyes. Beneath the mask. See the lies. Of which we should not ask. A masquerade, a party, a grand time for us all Please, come and dance, have a ball Love is a dance. Of exquisite romance. The warm truth, or a cold lie. Whatever the hopes, the dreams may die. Perhaps. Just perhaps, what you ask? Might I find happiness behind this mask? So, won't you come with me? Hidden, behind your mask you see? To dance and play. To laugh and sway. To live and die, a little more this day. Come, to the masquerade. A gaudy ball, a grand parade. A party, of childrens years. A twisted gathering, of morbid fears. A calvacade, of cheerful tears. A dark, dark party, full of lies. and so many wasted lives.
