Delusion Of Grandeur
Open your eyes
Walk to the mirror
Check your smile
Choke away the tears
Put on a face
Show you don't care and
Don't leave a trace
Of sadness that's wearing you down
look at all the things you own, go browse for more,
make lists, collapse, relapse, say 'I'll stay strong'
and break the word to fill the void of
Having nothing to yourself besides pretentious thoughts of more
than you were destined to fulfil to not be someone you avoid
To be or not the choice is yours;
To make the most out of the worst
You hide yourself behind bars,
behind backs, behind eyes,
seeking shelter in
absent-minded revelling
I sense your fear,
know you're here,
feel your end drawing near
I'll show you who the Devil is
You run away, just like prey,
go astray, growing frail,
seeking purpose away from all your evil thoughts
I see you going insane,
wash your life down the drain,
no help from your beloved gods
Post things online
Read some sad stories
Live others' lives
Without feeling sorry
See comments say
"You're so sophisticated"
Living like this You feel suffocated
Read through all the praise your pretty face
makes all the mindless people spew at lightning speed
onto your screen to feel your empty shell
Become so full of shit with every breath you take
mistakes you make, excitements faked that
you can't tell where you begin and end yourself
Only you can tell what's fair
In this mire of despair
If you're brave enough to dare
Open arms into thin air
Catching angry, hateful glares
Feeling fire begin to flare
Don't you think that it's unfair?
You hide yourself behind bars,
behind backs, behind eyes,
seeking shelter in
absent-minded revelling
I sense your fear,
know you're here,
feel your end drawing near
I'll show you who the Devil is
You run away, just like prey,
go astray, growing frail,
seeking purpose away from all your evil thoughts
I see you going insane,
wash your life down the drain,
no help from your beloved gods
This is all so strange
Every Little tiniest change
Makes your mind go insane
Unable To handle the strain
of the disapproving world
collapsing onto you
You hide yourself behind bars,
behind backs, behind eyes,
seeking shelter in
absent-minded revelling
I sense your fear,
know you're here,
feel your end drawing near
I'll show you who the Devil is
You run away, just like prey,
go astray, growing frail,
seeking purpose away from all your evil thoughts
I see you going insane,
wash your life down the drain,
no help from your beloved gods
