Haunted
Everything is colliding, dividing, and colliding.
And now im hiding
I feel safe, I feel home, In the dark all alone
Trying to forget what Ive been told and shown.
Searching for answers has only made me insane.
My demons have me in chains, aching in pain
Im moving but im not the driver
Im falling and im not the diver
Wearing a mask, but I didnt paint it
I didnt make it
But it hides me well when im in need
From all the people who would like to see me bleed.
But I cant take it off when im with you
Please tell me my instincts are untrue
Please tell me I got it all wrong
Stroke my hair, sing me our song
Please tell me this life is not a lie.
Tell me why, your words I can't rely, you can't reply, we can't retry.
I remember when you looked at me with such fierce desire
But something has put out that fire
Still hoping we will be fine, telling you we are all the time.
Then sitting as silent, as a mime
Stripes like a prisioner, my cell, my mind.
Leave all this noise behind, close your eyes, play blind, now glowing, but you once shinned.
This darkness engulfs you, it dims your light
Weak, tired, scared, and yet you fight
You always look like a hero.
No matter how great the victory you still feel like a zero.
Reality you seem contort for the worst.
My head is ready to burst, starting to think you're cursed, you cant be nursed, as if you're taking pain to cure your thirst.
To fill your craving for chaos and destruction.
Empowered by your dark seduction.
You're a living embodiment of my demons within.
Tempting me down this path of sin
The kind that leads to a "dead end"
