Painted Smile

I can't even remember how we started A nagging voice, my normal then departed from me Primal urges spiriting my senses away Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be Preyed upon by the lowest of society They're parasitic, demanding your conformity Pushing limits, things are gonna get real ugly Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity I'm not but a shadow of what I was And I'm hellbent and headed for you Surely you've realized that there's no way out of this alive Close your eyes,'cause it's time for you to go to sleep Climbing through your window pane I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on, mock me, say I'm insane But it's you who's caught in my game Cat and mouse, a lovely circle Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful Hush now, won't you stay a while? Join me with a painted smile Tragic faces stationed at my bedside Warm embraces hollow on the inside And their eyes betray them Widening with fear and worry Fuses burn down and my vision becomes blurry Liars always fill me with this unchained fury Carve this face into their darkest memories 'Cause that's just showbiz This is a divine comedy Ready, action, pray that you're fast enough to flee I'm not entirely unsympathetic So I'll give you the count until three Surely you've realized that there's no way out of this alive Close your eyes, 'cause it's time for you to go to sleep Climbing through your window pane I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on, mock me, say I'm insane But it's you who's caught in my game Cat and mouse, a lovely circle Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful Hush now, won't you stay a while? Join me with a painted smile Patience is a virtue when you're working on a masterpiece And tolerance is valued when you're working on a living canvas Stitch my words into tender fresh This grin will stay forever fresh Don't be lonely, don't be jealous Your turn's coming, how could I forget? (Still awake? Not for long!) Climbing through your window pane I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on, mock me, say I'm insane But it's you who's caught in my game Cat and mouse, a lovely circle Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful Hush now, won't you stay a while? Join me with a painted smile
