Lyrics
The Distortionist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can’t control the urge!
Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
Impossible, impossible
Twist ‘n turn it right around
The details never safe or sound
The truth projected through a lense
With nothing proving otherwise
Now take the time to realize
Despite what you believe
The victim of a massacre
Was none other than poor me
Surely you can see the problem
I don’t wanna lose my own reflection
A deplorable perception of me
Was none other than an image of you
You’re making a wreck of broken glass
And leaving me a fuckin’ mess
Bending light in a way that shows
Exactly how the story goes
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
A monster, monster, monster, monster
Now run away, run away, run away
I’m a monster, monster, monster, monster
Now run away, run away, run away
Now you’re the monster
A glimmer of betrayal changes my mind
The odds against your favor
Forever
Ignorant atrocities and
Colorless apologies
This isn’t what it looks to be
I’m not as cruel as you see me
Take the time to realize
Despite what you may see
The mirrors cracked themselves
And I was cut on the broken shards
And how I bled
Stuck in a spotlight brighter than
The smile no one ever saw
Bending light in a way that shows
The truth that left our friends in awe
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
Madness, it’s madness
Oh, it’s sickening
It’s sickening
You know
It’s unfair, it’s unfair
How you distorted my reflection
In all this madness
It’s madness
Oh, it’s sickening
It’s sickening
You know
It’s unfair, it’s unfair
How you distorted my reflection
You know it’s too late

You’re lost in a world of funhouse mirrors
Twisted for eternity
Bending light in a way that shows
Refraction of hypocrisy
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There’s no way you can compensate
Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can’t control the urge!
Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
