I see a shapeshifter in the corner of the room Restless embers fill this tomb Don't look twice at the devil himself The first is a blessing A second is hell Feed this new belief Eyes burn a hole in me I stretch myself to fit this identity you made I've held my breath for so long But in the grip of the cynic, I am reborn
Now even in my dark days, I shed this wolfskin But it's wearing thin under the friction, the friction of life Shatter all the negative judgement A mirror image fallacy Faceless giants in an abstract realm of twisted fantasy
Nothing left to betray Magnify the crownless fraud you portray (Living inside yourself) Deeper down than you see Life begins when you erase the sabotage
I see a shapeshifter in the corner of my eye Reflections of a failed design Walk with me, do not look down I turn to the edge It was all in my head To fill the noose Now you bend the truth I stretch myself to fit this identity you crave
I stand before you as all hope fades away But in the grip of the cynic, I am reborn
The silence now depleted There is no room to fail I'll take what's mine and slay the rest Feed on the pulse of the innocent But preach integrity Sharpen your teeth and prepare to feed
Nothing left to betray Magnify the crownless fraud you portray
Nothing left to betray Magnify the crownless fraud you portray (Living inside yourself) Deeper down than you see Life begins when you erase the sabotage Sabotage
(I've held my breath for so long)
Now even in my dark days, I shed this wolfskin But it's wearing thin under the friction, the friction of life
