I want to feel alive To see that old spark back in my eyes But there is never quite enough No matter how I try My lips taste of poison But my mind feels washed and clean A brand new look For a worn out fiend I can laugh at the smallest things But bleed from the smallest smile Lost? Broken? I've known all along I'm not in denial My skin hides my secrets The blood that runs white When my mistress, she calls I can't put up a fight A lust like no other An ever swelling greed Like angry waves attack the sea Wash over me She knows what I need, She knows what I need I don't know where I'm going Or what to hear, see and speak But I'll be okay as reality fades Cling to the hope that this isn't me I laugh and force a smile To distract from my bloodshot eyes Soon I'll ask glass Angels To put truth into these lies To numb me while I cry They fly into my lungs and promise to try I need to be free And wear their wings Escape from the puppet master Always pulling on my strings But I remain a song That's known but no one sings I'm just a tortured, dark thing An empty, dark thing.
