The silence of her fall Strange are the masks we wear What is there to hide? A tone was set for truth A tone was set for lie Two tones so hard to grasp A lie of no comfort is a lie without content As thoughts unconciously surface our masks become hard to bear Does her silence speak of words? Is her falseness indisquisable? Set apart from the character in sleep - Noble lies A shame struck her deeper than fear So many faces in the line So many truths to take aside Within the core of ones I we build the lie A flight within the walls of her soul now ended in despair The deeper you look the deeper you fall She left us with a note 'taken farther down' The silence then she broke The silence of her fall

Gliding on the surface of a dream all layers merged Unwear the mask before my eyes I dream in lies A world devoid of content tests my lack of patience A bitter thirst for the unreachable I've been deprived of my thougths, my sanity Aching desire tears me apart I must defy and then invert the pain Draining reality Draining my mind Draining my sanity I shall defy And my dreams won't let me go I feel the claws around me aiming for my soul The epitome of my vital thoughts remains in the gallery of artificial pain Release me from these lies Bring me back to life I've been deprived of my thougths, my sanity Aching desire tears me apart I must defy and then invert the pain Draining reality Draining my mind Draining my sanity I shall defy

Visions bleed through the midnight darkness through your words, perceptive to none In the flames of your souls departure my creations fed Come and feed my anguish cleanse my thoughts through the vaults of your soul Come and feed my knowledge Let me speak through the words of your tongue Welcome to the house of trauma Welcome to eternal despair Visions bleed through scenes of drama thus your journey ends And my fears shall haunt you And my chains will shackle you Behold my priceless art Each creation holds a soul Come and walk here by my side I will show you the way Welcome to the house of trauma Welcome to eternal despair Visions bleed through scenes of drama thus your journey ends

And so I burn but the flames grant me no pain And so I flee but the speed grants me no gain All my fears in one thought Hold me burn me Let me drink your bloodred wine Hold me burn me Let me taste your clear black mind Let your thoughts be mine And so I learn but logic defies me And so I speak but the words fail me as my thoughts fire blanks As the obvious cease to flow I'm seduced by words of promise As the empty mind itself must feed the empty pages Burn my limbs Steal my silence Burn my words Grant me nothing Hold me burn me Let me drink your bloodred wine Hold me burn me Let me taste your clear black mind Let your thoughts be mine Feel me vengeance eternal Taste me as I punish Let me show the edge of my bitter sorrow
