The Face Behind the Mask
Since the river Styx behind me
Into life to find the
Idea of you slips
On my lips
Feeling the vibe when
Your face starts the trip
I know the name
Call it love or fear
Baby it's the same
Dante's rings of hell
Forming my chain
But I'm to blame
Heavenly my lane
If I remain
Gateless vices
Heavily guarded devices
Of mutual hypnotising
Dripping off my face
The mask of me
Only I can erase
The ideas that had a hold of me
The ideas controlling me
Eyes of he who waits for sleep
The death beneath the dream
Show me
The face behind the mask
Show me
So that I can make it last
The vision of never missing you
Apologies
If I'm the one who was meant to lose
To sacrifice a life
For a light
Maybe the night
All the times
I thought I might
A voice shouting
Further
Further
But this the mind
This the angle of the incline
Both the stream to swim
And the fall
My emotions inclined to call
Why bother at all
For I hear the sun
He hears the son
Eye open
Blood-stained iris
Suffering may come
Dripping off my face
The mask of me
Only I can erase
The ideas that had a hold of me
The ideas controlling me
Eyes of he who waits for sleep
The death beneath the dream
Show me
The face behind the mask
Show me
So that I can make it last
The vision of never missing you
Apologies
If I'm the one who was meant to lose
Into life to find the
Idea of you slips
On my lips
Feeling the vibe when
Your face starts the trip
I know the name
Call it love or fear
Baby it's the same
Dante's rings of hell
Forming my chain
But I'm to blame
Heavenly my lane
If I remain
Gateless vices
Heavily guarded devices
Of mutual hypnotising
Dripping off my face
The mask of me
Only I can erase
The ideas that had a hold of me
The ideas controlling me
Eyes of he who waits for sleep
The death beneath the dream
Show me
The face behind the mask
Show me
So that I can make it last
The vision of never missing you
Apologies
If I'm the one who was meant to lose
To sacrifice a life
For a light
Maybe the night
All the times
I thought I might
A voice shouting
Further
Further
But this the mind
This the angle of the incline
Both the stream to swim
And the fall
My emotions inclined to call
Why bother at all
For I hear the sun
He hears the son
Eye open
Blood-stained iris
Suffering may come
Dripping off my face
The mask of me
Only I can erase
The ideas that had a hold of me
The ideas controlling me
Eyes of he who waits for sleep
The death beneath the dream
Show me
The face behind the mask
Show me
So that I can make it last
The vision of never missing you
Apologies
If I'm the one who was meant to lose
