I am not a psycho path But it feels like I’m going mad This repetition is getting to me So constricting I dare not breathe x2 Day by day I peel at the mask from my face Surrounded by hollow shells To my dismay It pains me To meet their gaze Years to master this craft to form mask of such worth A world of misshapen smiles and deceit How I’ve hoped to wake from this dream My mentality is splitting at the seams Day by day (k) I peel away Clawing at a foundation, I know I can’t attain Take me from this place I’ve been waiting for this Take me away I’ve been waiting for this For a chance to tarnish my own creations So many facades and fake faces I have wasted my time Trying to find the perfect match Why can’t I seem to keep it together x2 Oh I how I wish to break free This human skin feels so foreign to me So constricting I try to breath x2 I wear this mask of sanity But I believe it’s taking me x2 Take it away I’ve tried to peel it away

Paradigm of Lies These are the words of the ones who exclaim and proclaim that this is progression You are a liar So accept a liars fate Nothing left to say? I see what you are planning But we can’t let you see this through to the end They’ve taken everything we have and turned it against us x2 Such spaded tongues used to twist and deform the tales of history The people have begun to wake And the veil you’ve hung is slowly becoming transparent They need no gods They need no leaders Could you say, that you thought your words would last forever? I believe, that it got mixed up somewhere down the line (LIAR!!) x3 Get your story straight What has become of the rulers of the earth? Their wealth did not serve them The cup of death shall be filled for thee It is the dream of the dreamer, a mirage in the desert The devil adorneth it for man until death Let not the worth deceive thee with its beauty These are the words of the ones who exclaim and proclaim that this is progression You are a liar So accept a liars fate Nothing left to say? I see what you are planning But we can’t let you see this through to the end

Lose yourself Within mere moments I have felt the weight of the stars On my shoulders Who knew that this would be the way Out of the dark A feeling like no other Within minutes I have lived an eternity A product of the stars That shall never fade away x 2 The weight of the world Has been left behind All that is left is the host that carries my pure being Becoming one with all that surrounds me My existence is nothing but a spec In the bigger picture of it all Lies the truth Within our eyes Realize that is a psychedelic Crisis When this is over the world you knew will be a memory.

Why have you returned to this place It seeks the life you claim This place has become the home of those who have lost all hope in life Stand tall and drudge your way through this strife. Here you stand to make your decision Shall you stay here to wither away Or shall you flee The choice has not been made yet There is still a part of you That clings to this life A heart that pumps for another day Don't let this place get a hold of you I know the pain that you hold is true It must have been to push you this far I know that you want to leave Cry out for a New tomorrow x2 The choice has not been made yet There is still a part of you That clings to this life A heart that pumps for another day Don't let this place get a hold of you I know the pain that you hold is true It must have been to push you this far I know that you want to leave

Oh, look on now As another god has fallen By the grace of human kindness Your ethereal form has vanished (J) All that remains is the heart x2 I know why you threw it all away The burden of the all knowing is too much to bare x2 In the wake of your pain, You have taken the form of the dirt beneath the feet of man You faced them in human form their eyes fell upon a stranger Your thoughts were pure on what could've been Your human shell holds no weight upon their hearts Anymore x2 Who knew being human could be so hard When a god never has a worry in the world I know why you threw it all away The burden of the all knowing is too much to bare

My eyes Have once again become fixated On such darkened promises I know There is no truth to this The chance to see worlds Beyond our own How have you not Opened your mind Opened your eyes All you see before you means So much more Yet you choose to believe the facade The images that lie before you Means so much more Born to believe, that this is freedom Yet they keep us blind and confined x2 I have seen the truth Hidden on the walls Open your eyes and know true freedom Open your mind, and break from this earthly realm x2 The answers lie within the tapestry It shall all become clear in time You will see That this was all a lie The answers lie within the tapestry I’m done with the games I’d rather take my own fucking sight Then spend another second looking at Lies you’ve built around us Once your lose yourself You will come to terms And find yourself reborn
