Stained Glass Masquerade

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone tht falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everyone seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So wih a painted grin, I play teh 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 weaknesses
And smiles to hide our pain
But if he invitation's open
To every heart the has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone eho'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
And 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
That 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.

I cant get this song out my head so I'm doing a 'get it down on the screen instead of just thinking'
It's weird how me & Kirsty were both thinking of different songs this week but by the same band.... hummm dunno if that was for a reason..... we'll see.

There's a lot of questions in this song!
