Lyrics

The ravenous stare
Something has changed
Another face of you
I've never seen before
You look the same but still so strange
I see the signs but I can't escape
Trapped in a cage of your own deceit
Truths are twisted in foul beliefs
Cognitive dissonance in a crystal frame
Your grandiose dreams, your spiteful lies
Building up your walls
In conflicted realities
Diverted views
Construct your kingdom of filth
A part of me withered and died
But my lips are still sealed tight
Trapped in a cage of your own deceit
Truths are twisted in foul beliefs
Cognitive dissonance in a crystal frame
Your grandiose dreams, your spiteful lies
In the mirror's edge you see your crown
Gilded lies spinning round and round
You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud
But beneath the grin you rot in shame
Altering my memories with ambient threats
Your desperate defenses weaving turmoil
The black mirror reflects an abysmal void
A palace divine with walls cracked, eroded
You're burning the gaslight until my last breath
'Til dulled and drained, to the brink of death
A tormentor in disguise
The extortionist in hiding
In search of purity and innocence
Preying upon me
Consuming me
Feeding your carnal urge
In the mirror's edge you see your crown
Gilded lies spinning round and round
You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud
But beneath the grin you rot in shame
You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud
But beneath the grin you rot in shame
