masquerade
nothing is ever what it seems
perception shifting reality
can I trust you with your back to me?
I refuse to look
once upon a time, I could close my eyes
and all the scary things were just inside a book
I lie awake at night with my chest so tight
I need to feel you breathing
I've been waiting my whole life
to feel those teeth sink into me
(sink into me)
I don't know that it will be alright
hold me close, show me your darkest side
(I want to see)
mesmerizing, you hypnotize me
I wish to follow where you lead
(swallow me)
this masquerade has a price to pay
show your eyes, I am on my knees
(suffering)
pain is more than temporary
it bleeds into my pulse
you are just the same
you still whisper her name
once upon a time, I thought I had it all too
it's crippling to remember what it's like to lose
every single breath is one you have to choose
in the end, will it be you hanging the noose?
I've been waiting my whole life
to feel those teeth sink into me
(sink into me)
I don't know that it will be alright
hold me close, show me your darkest side
(I want to see)
mesmerizing, you hypnotize me
I wish to follow where you lead
(swallow me)
