I'm a servant of deception
A distorted mirror
A clouded sky
I walk this path towards the light alone
With zero emotion
Invisible eyes so cold
Piercing through your flesh
Could suicide release me
To the sweet embrace of death?
The calm outside my eyes
Hides the storm inside my mind
Hides the flame of fire and dark desire
That drives me wild
When I try to breathe
My thoughts are choking me
I'm crucified
Kissed by the nails of fate
Take this sword and run it through me
Slip it through gently
Then rip apart
I want to feel you open up my scars
Watch me bleed forever
Invisible eyes so cold
Piercing through your flesh
Could suicide release me
To the sweet embrace of death?
The calm outside my eyes
Hides the storm inside my mind
Hides the flame of fire and dark desire
That drives me wild
When I try to breathe
My thoughts are choking me
Crucified
Kissed by the nails of fate
