Staring at these walls for hours

I couldn't say how long

They sing their secrets to me

A sick demented song

A darkness dwells within me

Its underneath my skin

Clawing, scratching to break out

I give up and let it win

I can barely breathe. Constricted. Smothered by my skin.

Peel away this smiling mask. Sink fingernails in.

Rip my flesh asunder to reveal true form of me

Cast away the remnants. My last shreds of sanity

This skin is a mask! No need to hide, to be like them

Tear off my face! Reveal the beast that lurks within

This skin is a mask! My last shreds of sanity.

Tear off my face!

These people thought knew me.

They only saw the lie

A front to fit their system

It's time to let him die.

My torn up face now breaks a smile

As my thumbs push out my eyes

My laughter rings out through the night.

I tear off my flesh disguise

I can barely breathe. Constricted. Smothered by my skin.

Peel away this smiling mask. Sink fingernails in.

Rip my flesh asunder to reveal true form of me

Cast away the remnants. My last shreds of sanity

Constricted. Restricted. Trapped in my skin

Constricted. Restricted. Can't hold it in

It's voice I hear when I'm alone

It's voice I hear when I'm alone

"Reveal your true form"

A darkness dwells within me

Its underneath my skin.

Clawing, scratching to break out

I give up and let it win
