"Too late, too gone
Is the person you've been seeking
So dark, so wrong
Is the person that they chose to be
Sick games, cruel aims
Theatrics trying to fool you
So are you feeling safe my darling?
Hung cloak, smokescreen
Endless walls for you to see through
Dead end, unseen
Are the tricks that try to block your way
You can't rest, so instead
You're popping pills just to calm you
And still it wakes you up before the morning
Just one step closer to the fall
But still you cling to solid ground
The noise of screaming echoes in your ears
You don't even make a sound
Too many years of knowing this façade
Such a surprise when it finally cracked
So just be careful who you trust
Because some people will stab you in the back
Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to it's own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life
Untrue, insane
Accusations flung right at you
This time, this game
Is proving too much for you to take
Betrayed, dismayed
You try to reach and touch the way things once were
Like tactile dreams that fade so quickly
With fire in your eyes and heart worn on your sleeve
You try to reach the one you know has left
But you just get a hollow shell populated by lies
The soul now reticent
Too many years of knowing this façade
Such a surprise when it finally cracked
So just be careful who you're gonna trust
Because even crooks can act
Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to it's own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life
Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to it's own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life
Hid behind closed eyes
'Cos locked away inside"
