Painted smile

I can't even remember how it started
My normal then departed from me
Primal urges spiriting my senses away
Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be
Preyed upon by the lowest of society
They're parasitic
Demanding your conformity
Pushing limits:
Things are gonna get real ugly
Ripping through
The last shreds of my humanity
I'm not but shadow of what I was
And I'm hellbent and headed for you
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive
Close your eyes
Cause it's time
For you to ''go to sleep''
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
Painted smile
Tragic faces stationed at my bedside
Warm embraces hollow on the inside
And their eyes betray them
Widening with fear and worry
Fuses burn down
And my vision becomes blurry
Liars aways fill me with this unchained fury
Carve this face into their darkest memories
Cause that's just showbiz
This is a divine comedy
Ready! Action!
Pray that you're fast enough to flee
I'm not entirely unsympathetic
So I'll give you the count until three
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive
Close your eyes
Cause it's time
For you to ''go to sleep''
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game.
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
Painted smile.
Patience is a virtue
When you're working on a masterpiece
And tolerance is valued
When you're working on a living canvas
Stitch my words into tender fresh
This grin will stay forever fresh
Don't be lonely, don't be jealous
Your turn is coming
How could I forget?
Still awake? Not for long!
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse a lovely circle
What your tongue! Those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
Painted smile
