lyrics

Staring at a painting
That wears my own face
An aging capsule
Of the mortality in me

Ageless and callous
Against meanings natural law
A ghost to those who feel
They don’t feel me at all

They move on without me
I’m watching them fade and die
My conscience draining
My mask an alluring disguise
Before my lonely ey-es
Before my lonely ey-es

Years of decadence
You mean nothing to me
For I’ve worshipped only beauty
And sensuality

And even if I lay with you
It’ll be your mistake
Our souls will not touch
Only our bodies will copulate

You move on without me
I’m watching you fade and die
My conscience draining
My mask an alluring disguise
Before my lonely ey-es
Before my lonely ey-es

Dark thoughts in the limitless
Of cyclical eternity
From this mortal coil
I long to fly from thee

I gaze into the mirror
I’m frightened at what I see
This hideous creature
Staring back at me
Staring back at me-e
Staring back at me-e

Into my lonely ey-es
Into my lonely ey-es
Into my lonely ey-es
