In the beginning I was told
That the life in you ran cold
My tears turned to dread
With words of life and death

I was sold a lie
My future in disguise
You chose to be deviant
Always deviant
Always desperate
Binding
Debased conscience
Soul mate
Faceless

Now stare into the light
Circling beyond
To never release the grip and pressure
The rising intent
To birth and release thе darkness within

Tear the mask away
Brеathe another way
Tear the mask away
To uncomplicate the patterns
That we all feel
Keep the flames at bay
Live another day

Tear the mask away
Facing one another
Now elevate my understanding

My body’s fading
Tomorrow came for me
Rushing in and out of me
I want it all
Give me everything now

Tear the mask away
Facing one another
Now elevate my understanding
Elevate my understanding
Don’t exacerbate my perception

A hidden sign amidst the cold
A serpent's eye
With grinning teeth beneath it
A cold surprise you won’t deny
You pay the price and keep it
I sold a lie amidst the cold
A sudden cry

I sold a lie amidst the cold
Running high
Grit your teeth and bear it
A faint surprise, overtly bold
Stand your ground and mean it
I sold a lie amidst the cold
Running high


I sold a lie amidst the cold
Running high
Grit your teeth and bear it

The words I whispered followed you
They lit a light in you
That you might not have found
To dream of flowing locks untwisted
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep

The words that I whispered
When it all began
Did they shine a light on you
You don’t understand?

To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep

Raise your eyes, notice me
Raise your eyes, notice me
