Behind cold lips I hide a kiss

Despite my lies I can’t have this

Heart torn to shreds upon a cliff

Avert my eyes from the big if

You don’t know why I disappear

A voice inside keeps calling here

To shed the skin if they just knew

The pain I’m in to follow you

I couldn’t see my own reflection

Why was I born to be so hollow inside

My mind's eye cries for a savior

I’m looking at my doppelgänger

Fading lie

I keep wanting to run away

From how my soul leads me to pay

For all the times I reach too far

I burn to know just what you are

Splinters within the cause of death

A life of lies in one short breath

Less are the few who know my name

Lost in a shell I cannot claim

I couldn’t see my own reflection

Why was I born to be so hollow inside

My mind's eye cries for a savior

I’m looking at my doppelgänger

Lie to me tell me I’m an angel

Cry hold me close and say I’m beautiful

I could die for you to see within me but

I know that I’m my own disaster

Fading

Lie to me tell me I’m an angel

Cry hold me close and say I’m beautiful

I could die for you to see within me but

I know that I’m my own disaster
