With each breath I take I'm closer to my fate
I am myself, I am what I create
I am myself, I am my hate
My hate is a burden
My love is dying
My mind is burning
My eyes are lying
I trust no one
Everyone's a stranger
I can't trust myself
I know myself too well
The curtain has been lifted
The past is evidence
It's draining me of substance
My hunger only grows
I cannot recede into my personal shell
I am forced into my personal hell
Searching for answers in all the wrong places
Twisted and demented
It's a carnal carnival
The darkness that I know
Is the darkness that I am
I want to disappear
I want to be happy
I want to know I'm safe
I want to know my purpose
I see through your plastic mind
And your recycled beliefs
You survive to be satisfied
You use your sins to pacify
Lift the veil up from your eyes
The future isn't real
Pay attention, or you may owe it
This is a pain I cannot sedate With each breath I take I'm closer to my fate I am myself, I am what I create I am myself, I am my hate My hate is a burden My love is dying My mind is burning My eyes are lying I trust no one Everyone's a stranger I can't trust myself I know myself too well The curtain has been lifted The past is evidence It's draining me of substance My hunger only grows I cannot recede into my personal shell I am forced into my personal hell Searching for answers in all the wrong places Twisted and demented It's a carnal carnival The darkness that I know Is the darkness that I am I want to disappear I want to be happy I want to know I'm safe I want to know my purpose I see through your plastic mind And your recycled beliefs You survive to be satisfied You use your sins to pacify Lift the veil up from your eyes The future isn't real Pay attention, or you may owe it Explain Request ×
