Stained Glass Masquerade (Reimagined)
Is there anyone that fails?
Is there anyone that falls?
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small?
'Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong
So I tuck it all away
Like everything's okay (everything's okay)
If I make 'em all believe it
Maybe I'll believe it too
So with the painted grin
I'll play the part again
So everyone will see me
The way that I see them
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there?
Are there any hands to raise?
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage?
The performance is convincing
If we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free?
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open?
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay?
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
If the invitation is open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small?
Is there anyone that falls?
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small?
'Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong
So I tuck it all away
Like everything's okay (everything's okay)
If I make 'em all believe it
Maybe I'll believe it too
So with the painted grin
I'll play the part again
So everyone will see me
The way that I see them
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there?
Are there any hands to raise?
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage?
The performance is convincing
If we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching

On our stained-glass masquerade
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
If the invitation is open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small?
