Painted Smile
I can't even remember how it started.
A nagging voice:
My normal then departed from me.
Primal urges spiriting my senses away.
Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be.
Preyed upon by the lowest of society.
They're parasitic,
Demanding your conformity.
Pushing limits:
Things are gonna get real ugly.
Ripping through
The last shreds of my humanity
I'm not but a shadow of what I was
And I'm hellbent and headed for you.
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive.
Close your eyes
'Cause it's time
For you to "Go to Sleep"
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game.
Cat and mouse a lovely circle.
Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful.
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
Painted smile.
Tragic faces stationed at my bedside.
Warm embraces hollow on the inside
And their eyes betray them
Widening with fear and worry
Fuses burn down
And my vision become blurry
Liars always fill me with this unchained fury
Carve this face into their darkest memories
'Cause that's just showbiz
This is a divine comedy
Ready! Action!
Pray that you're fast enough to flee.
I'm not entirely unsympathetic
So I'll give you the court until three
Surely you've realized that there's
No way out of this alive.
Close your eyes
'Cause it's time
For you to "Go to Sleep"
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game.
Cat and mouse a lovely circle.
Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful.
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
Painted smile.
Patience is a virtue
When you're working on a masterpiece
And tolerance is valued when you're
Working on a living canvas
Stitch my words into tender flesh
This grin will stay forever fresh
Don't be lonely, don't be jealous
Your turn's coming
How could I forget?
(Still awake, Not for long)
Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer, can you hear me?
Go on, mock me! Say I'm insane!
But it's you who's caught in my game.
Cat and mouse a lovely circle.
Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful.
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a
