Staring at my reflection
That lies as much as I do
Reminding myself
To keep the mask from slipping
Afraid to see
What lies beneath the foundations
Is there anything left but decay?
Is there anything left of me?
My kingdom
Oh, my kingdom for an answer
To this cancer deep inside
That I invented
A half-life I invited
A glass heart I constructed
And no path that leads to home
And I am calling
Calling to God to save me
From my crushing guilt
From the jagged pieces of my soul
And I can near his laughter clearly
Is he laughing with me, or at me?
And I guess it’s f#cking fitting
Either way
How I plead
How I desperately want to believe
That we are more than mere marionettes
Dancing on ethereal strings
Held by no one
And yet the Puppets Dream I hold close
Just wanting to be real
For one brief moment
Even after so many years
I can still feel the old wounds bleed
And every step I take
Seems to remove me from myself
The old me is dead
The new stillborn
And I’m caught somewhere in between
The grave and the azure sky
The sand in the hourglass runs low
Let it fall
Let it fall
I never wanted to be me anyway
