Do I know your name?
Don't be shy, I am tame
Have you seen the raven
Flying inside the haze?
Or  the black cat
Walking through the buzz?
Maybe the white wolf
Laying in the alleys?

No, I guess you don't
You don't remember do you?
Don't remember the faces or the places
Of mistaken voices, misplaced memories
Gas-lighting has done a real number on you.

They told me about you
Your little white bunny
You tried to escape me
Wanted to be free
Thought that people
Would hide you from evil
You thought I was that evil, huh.

But a word of advice from a sage conjurer

Don't try to glide through the crowd,
I don't want to see you drown.
I want you to escape
This fool's paradise.

I don't know why the song is playing
My voice is slowly fading
Blood leaving my lungs to escape
Now I am hurling my dedication

I don't why the song keeps playing
My voice is about to break
I just want to hear the ending
But I am trapped in a cage of creation

After the day is done
And the sun goes down
Lay my heart on the ground
Arms spread wide reaching for you
Eyes closing against the orange glow

You will never know
All this pain
All this sacrifice
That I endure

Hands get raised
Grazing the ceiling
I start to pull it apart
Calling the devil's name
With a smirk saying let's play

You will never know
All this love
All this lust
That I give

Music playing inside
Humming the words
In my skull, I feel the words
Vibrating, causing an achiness
I do it again to feel this pain

You will never know
All this obsession
All this possession
That I control

You will never know
Feel the way I do

The pain whisks away
All that's left is a facade
