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
