House Of Mirrors

Why do we try to take control
Desensitized, what is it for?
Was it good intention?
It’s all a matter of perception

I'm beaten down and torn and sworn to secrecy
The Sun in the sky, incentivized
Don’t even try to belittle me
Burning down the fuse of an uneven exchange
Pupils lying vacant
Your demeanor, always doubtful

Misguided in droves, you lead them through the fog
Well you should have known better than to get to close to me
Before I explode

See for yourself and listen
Cast out from the outside looking in
A change of heart brings new perspective
You can’t deny the pieces fit
Face facts about the world you’re living in
There’s really nothing here to stay for
But can you will yourself to leave it?

Eyes bled dry by patchwork people
Secrets lie just under the skin
Paint my self portrait with a dagger just to get to them
Pacing back and forth, lock the doors
On this house of mirrors
Surrender to the dark, it’s so much easier

This heartbeat starts to slow

This experiment, a testament to tragedy
I won’t empathize, nowhere to hide
No, you won’t get my sympathy
Hell itself now frozen over
And we didn’t learn anything
