A perfect angel, they all have said
A golden halo hovering over her head
Grace every time she steps onto the floor to walk
Tact every time she opens her mouth to talk
A flawless face, resembling her porcelain wings
A charming smile with dimples so deep
Swaying lightly, she takes the floor!
An observer so hidden, watching in wonder
Staring at her with ivory eyes,
A green beast lingers on her heart
No matter how hard she tries
This watcher can't find her way
To the center of the dance floor
Gripping so tightly onto this war
She's determined to break, break, break
The masquerade's little bit of perfection
From beneath the shadows, she will rise
Shattered glass stinging as she cries
The divine one moving ever so gently
The observer flaring up, embers sparking so bright
As all the boys stop to watch, peering in wonder
Staring at her with ivory eyes,
A green beast lingers on her heart
No matter how hard she tries
This watcher can't find her way
To the center of the dance floor
Gripping so tightly onto this war
She's determined to break, break, break
The masquerade's little bit of perfection
Screams swallowed up in this angel's throat
As the observer lurks closer and closer
The fire in her eyes dancing like sparks across the water
And slowly this envy has taken over
The ivory burnt up, as the flawless hits the floor
Her mouth gaping open as blood drips down
A river of hatred and grudges covering the knife
Impaled she lies, in terror the other cries
Her mission finally completed, the light concealed
An empty door for an empty soul
Staring at her with ivory eyes,
A green beast lingers on her heart
No matter how hard she tries
This watcher can't find her way
To the center of the dance floor
Gripping so tightly onto this war
She was determined to break, break, break
Just to feel important for a second
To know the power she could hold
