Shadow Man

See cracks under your smile
Where pretty shadows linger
Your mask was never perfect
Guess I didn't want it to be artificial

Let me have a taste
Of your heart
Narcissist, so good at lighting flames
Gasoline tears on my lips
What would your mother think
If she saw her son was teetering on the brink

I hope you never get your fill
She was empty calories, just a fallacy
I hope you gorge yourself until
All that's left is your hunger

Sad little boy
Not used to sharing toys
So greedy, a collector
Feast on hearts to fill the void

Let you cannibalize
My trust
So sorry that you won't ever feel like you're enough
Watch you tear through body after body
How the hell did I believe you loved me?

I hope you never get your fill
She was empty calories, just a fallacy
I hope you gorge yourself until
You're consumed by your own hunger
I hope you never quench your thirst
Cursed by Demeter, killer lust for more
I hope you take and take until
Your faced with your reflection

You're choking on every lie
Hiding in the shadows, plagued by hollow whispers
The reason you need to find
More bodies to drown in
I'm not sure it was personal
The way that you used me, projected shit upon me
Your daddy issues aren't my problem
Staying in the dark won't help you solve them
But by all means

I know you'll never get your fill
Lost in all your vanity, thing of insecurity
I know you'll gorge yourself until
You're consumed by your own hunger
I know you'll never quench your thirst
Bloodlust is insatiable when your heart is so damn cold
I know you've taken everything you can
Just a shadow
Of a man
Just a shadow of a man
