Here I am sitting in my voodoo playground
Wondering which mask I could put on today
There are so many of them in the background
I just have to pick one and start to play
I can be anyone, it's entertainment
But I lost sight of what's down to my core
Now I'm left wondering why this amusement
ain't amusing anymore
I believe I have been disconnected from myself
I believe all my toys have fallen
high from the shelf
And now I don't know where they are
But when they're gone they left a few scars
The game is over and I'm left with me, myself and I
I cannot find myself in this gigantic mess
The real me seems to be nowhere to be found
Drowned in an endless sea of possibilities
So many faces in my voodoo playground
Every human being's covered-up nowadays
Pretending to be someone they are not
So I thought I could just be doing the same
But I've been having trouble joining the dots
The more I'm changing the less I stay the same
The masquerade has started to decay
I'm tired of playing this dangerous game
But there's a price to pay
I believe that there is
no such thing as sanity
I believe that this word should be banned
from every dictionary
Maybe I have some bats in my belfry
They took my identity, they hid it away
and I'm left with me, myself and I
I cannot find myself in this gigantic mess
The real me seems to be nowhere to be found
Drowned in an endless sea of personalities
So many faces in my voodoo playground
Art is cheaper than therapy anyway
Should I just lay down my arms
and enjoy the little things?
Smell the roses, clean the house
and polish the dishes?
Find a boyfriend of virtue,
copulate once a month?
Have a baby, maybe two,
or maybe three at once?
I could never play this part
and be fulfilled in pain
This option sure is the one
that would drive me insane
I'd rather stay home alone
with no one else around
I'm happy with myselves
in my voodoo playground
