Island of Masks
Where the fuck am I
Open my eyes, and yet I can't see
Rip off the blindfold, there's a face staring back at me
With hollowed eyes and skin turned white
The words are carved to invite
Welcome to an island where your past
Comes to life
The one sent to greet me hangs split in half
I'm suddenly reminded of a life I once had
The image it seems so real
The picture was perfect
So why did you burn it
I just wanted to be happy
But that wasn't the plan for me
From this isle you'll never leave the same
(All these winding roads and not a trace of light)
The damage will drive you insane
(Escape has to be in sight, I won't survive the night)
Running from the memories I long thought dead
(Every turn's another memory laced with dread)
These living nightmares made me who I am
(But I'm not as stable as I could have been)
A moment to catch my breath
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead
I know better than to listen, but could it be
In the wake of this nightmare a lucid dream
Do my eyes deceive me
Never thought again I'd see
(The surface)
But when the winds change
And I need you the most
You leave me, but I won't die in this cold
From this isle you'll never leave the same
(All these winding roads and not a trace of light)
The damage will drive you insane
(Escape has to be in sight, I won't survive the night)
Running from the memories I long thought dead
(Every turn's another memory laced with dread)
These living nightmares made me who I am
(But I'm not as stable as I should have been)
Traumatic voices
Resounding in my head
Why won't they stop
When did they stop
Show me a sign
Give me a sign
I'm not alone
No one's coming for me
No, I'm on my own
The demons of my past have come back
I need 'em, though
Where did they all go
Open my eyes, and yet I can't see
Rip off the blindfold, there's a face staring back at me
With hollowed eyes and skin turned white
The words are carved to invite
Welcome to an island where your past
Comes to life
The one sent to greet me hangs split in half
I'm suddenly reminded of a life I once had
The image it seems so real
The picture was perfect
So why did you burn it
I just wanted to be happy
But that wasn't the plan for me
From this isle you'll never leave the same
(All these winding roads and not a trace of light)
The damage will drive you insane
(Escape has to be in sight, I won't survive the night)
Running from the memories I long thought dead
(Every turn's another memory laced with dread)
These living nightmares made me who I am
(But I'm not as stable as I could have been)
A moment to catch my breath
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead
I know better than to listen, but could it be
In the wake of this nightmare a lucid dream
Do my eyes deceive me
Never thought again I'd see

But when the winds change
And I need you the most
You leave me, but I won't die in this cold
From this isle you'll never leave the same

Running from the memories I long thought dead

Traumatic voices
Resounding in my head
Why won't they stop
When did they stop
Show me a sign
Give me a sign

No one's coming for me
No, I'm on my own
The demons of my past have come back
I need 'em, though
Where did they all go
