Behind The Glass (Explicit)

I wear this mask, a fragile guise

To hide the truth behind my eyes

Don't draw too near, don't break the glass

The shattered soul will never pass

This painted smile, a silent plea

A performance for eternity

A labyrinth of fractured thoughts, my mind

A weight I carry, left behind

I'm bound to falter, stumble, fall

And watch it crumble, watch it all

So I stay asleep

Drowning in the silence, sinking in the blue

A constant battle, breaking through

If you only knew the shadows cast upon my soul

You'd vanish, set me free, reclaim your stolen whole

I am the architect of my own ruin,

A ticking clock, my fate imbued.

Better to keep you in the distant haze,

Shield you from the scars, the dark embrace

Of my transgressions, unforgiven crimes.

This fractured mind, a heavy crown

Forever destined to let you down

To crumble, fall apart, destroy

Every last vestige of pure joy

So I stay asleep

Drowning in the silence, sinking in the blue

A constant battle, breaking through

If you only knew the shadows cast upon my soul

You'd vanish, set me free, reclaim your stolen whole

You would be gone

Lost to the fading light

Into the endless night

A void where solace lies

Beyond these hollow eyes

Forever severed

From all I've ever treasured

Ultimum

Drowning in the silence, sinking in the blue

A constant battle, breaking through

If you only knew the shadows cast upon my soul

You'd vanish, set me free, reclaim your stolen whole
