lyrics

A changing hue can make it seem like pictures move | or when the world is faster than your eye | illusions are abundant if you think it through | but she’s too real to deny | you’re a pawn in these little games she uses you | but you don’t care because the process is so sweet | melt in your crucible but don’t complain when you spill at her feet or perish in her heat

I know her hold is getting stronger | it would be wrong to wrong her | curtain call for this puppet she controls

She pulls my strings and influences every little thing I do and say | for me there’s no escape | cos as blind as I may be she just has to ask and she’ll receive | I’m in her debt cos I’m her marionette

My throbbing heart palpitates within my wooden chest | when her shadow starts to scream over my form | the smile on my face does not abate I am afraid | but all the same I love her very name

So how bad has it become? | Am I the only one who’s succumbed to a demon? | Who says an existence built on lies cannot be paradise? | Is it not a form of freedom?
