lyrics

Get him. He’s a killer with words and a victim to power. What a shame to speak of. She’s a rose. What a perfect example of bleeding for pleasure. Pick up your face from the floor.
Reflections show that the place that you called home is now bitter and cold. You found yourself numb. Too close to hell, too far from home. And the roads, they stay closed.
Searching for something else. I can’t find it in myself.
There’s no peace inside my head. I’ve gone too far from myself. Become someone else and they say the devil comes disguised. Well I’m wearing a mask. Killing myself to be someone else. I’m wearing the mask. Cover my face. Hide from my fate. Disguise.
There’s a sour taste on my tongue and a scream for anything. I’m misunderstood. It's all that I can speak.
I still see myself a disaster. Running from shadows as they start to come to life. Overwhelmed by the thought of being this hollow.
There’s a sour taste on my tongue and a scream for anything. I’m misunderstood. It's all that I can speak. I wish that I was honest so I didn’t have to swear but I swear I’ll speak louder than words.
The inner me is my enemy. Get him.
