You speak to hide the masks you wear
All you gloat is to have it your way
Tempest ablaze, curtains coming down
What is left is what you are
Your voice, reassuring
You smile to manipulate
Your eyes, compassionate
You said you meant the best for us
Cowering behind your face
Your sincerity deceived all
Stretched the moment meant to be
Turned days into endless nights
Your voice, reassuring
You smile to manipulate
Your eyes, compassionate
You said you meant the best for us
Disconnected
Fear respected
Drifting through days
Isolated
Fear respected
In fragments we reunite
Was this what you wanted? (How could I know?)
The world in flames, shattered (How could I know?)
Now you’re burning too
Crackling sounds fill our ears (How could I know?)
And the wind blows, relentless
Carrying the consequence (How could I know?)
Scarlet clouds, overcast
All is lost in a whim
Now there’s no end
And we’re all adrift
Purgatory
Descending
Down the earth
