I'm a liar and a manipulator and I like it
Until I get caught then its no fun
No good being at fault
though the dark is my faithful companion
Better for me the pain invokes a sense of peace
all is calm, something to remind me to feel at all
a stab in the gut to know I'm alive
I ache for a release, to get out of this skin
sink into the nothing, collide with the universe
and in that moment feel free
Until reality tightens the noose and I'm back on the chain again.
Running to the end of my leash and all I can do is bark
The world is not big enough, I stretch to the sky
my hands are full, the weight on my shoulders is heavy
the pain is welcome I open myself to it freely
aren't you comfortable sleeping next to me in my nightmare
I trade this face for that one
aren't you happy, content with the facade
Until I let you see me empty
and you are forced to confront the mirage
happiness is a state of mind
all is temporary
your light is too much, my enemy the crimson sun
what is to become of us
in the dark
all turns to dust
the truth lost in lust
feels good until we dont
spread it thick until it all runs out
