lyrics

Too late
Too gone is the person you've been seeking
So dark
So wrong is the person that they chose to be
Sick games
Cruel aims, theatrics trying to fool you
So are you feeling safe my darling?

Hung cloak
Smokescreen, endless walls for you to see through
Dead end
Unseen are the things that try to block your way
You can't rest
So instead you're popping pills just to calm you
But still it wakes you up before the morning

Just one step closer to the fall
(But still you cling to solid ground)
The noise of screaming echoes in your ears
You don't even make a sound

Too many years of knowing this façade
(Such a surprise when it finally cracked)
So just be careful who you trust
Because some people will stab you in the back

Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to its own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life

Untrue
Insane accusations flung right at you
This time
This game is proving too much for you to take
Betrayed
Dismayed you reach and try to touch the way things once were
Like tactile dreams they fade so quickly

With fire in your eyes and heart worn on your sleeve
(You try to reach the one you know has left)
But you just get a hollow shell populated by lies
The soul now reticent

Too many years of knowing this façade
(Such a surprise when it finally cracked)
So just be careful who you're gonna trust
Because even crooks can act

Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to its own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life

Hid behind closed eyes
Is a brain that only knows disguise
Oblivious to its own demise
'Cos locked away inside
Are the doubts it still fights to deny
The elements of a real life

Hid behind closed eyes
'Cos locked away inside
