The Extortionist
The ravenous stare Something has changed Another face of you I've never seen before You look the same but still so strange I see the signs but I can't escape Trapped in a cage of your own deceit Truths are twisted in foul beliefs Cognitive dissonance in a crystal frame Your grandiose dreams, your spiteful lies Building up your walls In conflicted realities Diverted views Construct your kingdom of filth A part of me withered and died But my lips are still sealed tight Trapped in a cage of your own deceit Truths are twisted in foul beliefs Cognitive dissonance in a crystal frame Your grandiose dreams, your spiteful lies In the mirror's edge you see your crown Gilded lies spinning round and round You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud But beneath the grin you rot in shame Altering my memories with ambient threats Your desperate defenses weaving turmoil The black mirror reflects an abysmal void A palace divine with walls cracked, eroded You're burning the gaslight until my last breath 'Til dulled and drained, to the brink of death A tormentor in disguise The extortionist in hiding In search of purity and innocence Preying upon me Consuming me Feeding your carnal urge In the mirror's edge you see your crown Gilded lies spinning round and round You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud But beneath the grin you rot in shame You wear a mask, hide inside your fraud But beneath the grin you rot in shame
