It Costs a Lot to Be This Cursed

Demon's ensnared, look him in the eye
Insanity extends an invitation to the rising tide
Pin this one to the ground, make him scream for mercy
"You're still so pretty when you're unfaithful to me"

Once I had the world pinned up against a fence
Now even my own mirror won't come to my defence
Self-sabotage, a dishonest mistake
Like a pinprick to the heart, it's only a matter of time
Til I'm drained

My demon's screaming out in sarcastic joy
A contrast to my tightly closed lips
Slightly poisoned with the promise of protection
Just like the words the ocean in me spits
The strings I pull tighten a noose around my throat
When do the things I say and do become my fault?
Blaming nameless apparitions for all my sins
I'm wondering where the demons end and I begin

Afterglow is getting rather dim
Still figuring out how to fit my own skin
Filtered breaths through a crooked grin
Keeping dormant what lies within

It's hard to lie when the truth is painted in your eyes
It's confession time for guilty minds
Indiscretions I'm forced to confide
It costs a lot to be this cursed
