Gallows
As I face the gallows
My imprint on the shadows
Another pinch in the side of my pride
My pride
Another stride to anonymous lies
The lie
Ticking in time the clock is facing
Bracing, hasten, endless chasing
Of the end
A line just dropped into my mind
My engram is a vision
But the impact is not my decision
You will know my name
My face etched on your brain
I'll smile to you as I wave goodbye
Laughing as I drop into another demise
Here we go again
Another stab into the heart of my existence
This insistence that I face
Displaced
A numbness in this desolate place
If numbness is a lack of feeling
Why is my face now raw and bleeding?
Bleeding
It's hot in here but my blood runs cold
Everything I am I can't hold
You will know my name
My face etched on your brain
I'll smile to you as I wave goodbye
Laughing as I drop into another demise
You captivated me
Made it all I see
Maybe I don't want to recognise
But I know it's me
What I tell the world
Is only what I want to be
This picture perfect book of lies
Looks nothing like me
Again I face the gallows
This court reflects my last
Imprint on the shadow
Smoke and mirrors shroud the past
Shroud the past
I don't need you to read my mind
I just want to live my life
I don't want you to define
My life
I need you to make me feel like
I just want to live my life
Why can't I ever act like
I have my own mind
Picture perfect
Image fading
Feeling worthless
Enervating
Smoke and mirrors forever shrouding me
My eyes are stuck
Stuck with needles
My face looks back from beyond the black
My ears are filled
Filled with poison
You will know my name
My face etched on your brain
I'll smile to you as I wave goodbye
Laughing as I drop into another demise
Life is perfect
Only when you can't see
The truth behind what
You read
My imprint on the shadows
Another pinch in the side of my pride
My pride
Another stride to anonymous lies
The lie
Ticking in time the clock is facing
Bracing, hasten, endless chasing
Of the end
A line just dropped into my mind
My engram is a vision
But the impact is not my decision
You will know my name
My face etched on your brain
I'll smile to you as I wave goodbye
Laughing as I drop into another demise
Here we go again
Another stab into the heart of my existence
This insistence that I face
Displaced
A numbness in this desolate place
If numbness is a lack of feeling
Why is my face now raw and bleeding?
Bleeding
It's hot in here but my blood runs cold
Everything I am I can't hold
You will know my name
My face etched on your brain
I'll smile to you as I wave goodbye
Laughing as I drop into another demise

Made it all I see

But I know it's me

This picture perfect book of lies

Laughing as I drop into another demise
Life is perfect
Only when you can't see
The truth behind what
You read
