Hum of high voltage
In the back of my head
The crows' cries
Fill me with dread
These twisted reigns wrap around my throat
Like a marionette
I'm being controlled
For now I shroud myself
In this temporary high
You know I fear becoming the villain
But this darkness is sometimes thrilling
Betrayal in good intention
I'm dying to be forgiven
I masquerade my pain with laughter
With each blink another chapter
Sleepless nights of feeling vile
Break me I won't cease to smile
For now I shroud myself
In this temporary high
Another day of feeling sick
I don't think I can overcome this
Another day of hell on earth
But I still care
For what it's worth
You know I fear becoming a villain
But this darkness is sometimes thrilling
Betrayal in good intentions
I'm dying to be forgiven
You know I fear becoming the villain
But this darkness is sometimes thrilling
Betrayal in good intention
I'm dying to be forgiven
