Lyrics

Behind this mask are thousands of eyes
Each wearing another disguise
And I'm caught in an unending fight
Against instincts that insist to arise
A force that seeks to control me
A spectre spectating my life
Helpless, i am as my love, my light
Is becoming the one i despise
Dead lips trace your neck like a razor
Sweet words only offer a guise
Reality splits in the fragmented mind
Twixt the truth and the dream and the lie
Look in my eyes, see the poison, the pain i will cause
And when you kiss me can you taste the rot?
Our love is consumed by a hatred
That arose from a source unbeknownst
But promises jointly degraded
And im left in the ruins alone
Behind this mask lie thousands of eyes
Each wearing another disguise
And I've lost the impossible fight
Against their demonic design
These forces have total control of me
And my self is pushed to side
The person i see in the mirrors
Become all that I had once despised
I opened my wrist with a razor
Exposing a blackness inside
The battle is lost, i can no longer hide
The impulses that moulder my mind
Kiss me one last time
Burn it in your mind
For I will never be seen again
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Feel me fade away
A long forgotten face
Lost without a trace
Where once there were eyes
Now only viridian fog
I know that you miss me
But that form if forever lost
