Room is spinning, feet are cast in stone
Mask of ice I wear, a chilling throne
Whisper "I'm alright," a hollow lie
While silent screams beneath my skin do fly
Eyes are needles, piercing every glance
Sweat turns crystal in this deadly dance
Hold still, don't breathe
Conceal the crack beneath my teeth
A mannequin trapped in the strobe's white eye
Laughing loud as the punchlines drift by
Spinning threads of silk from lies I consume
To block the velvet dark that seeks to bloom
I lean on shadows, fragile as a dream
Drowning slow in a shallow, stagnant stream
Tell the wind, "This is not the end"
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll mend, I pretend
Glass shatters softly as my words spill
Wearing a stranger's skin against my will
Walls have tongues, the ceiling starts to peel
Tangoing with ghosts I cannot feel
Head nods stiff to the pendulum's sway
Life's a faded print, rotting away in the clay
Freeze cold, don't speak
The floor is ash, the air is weak
A mannequin trapped in the strobe's white eye
Laughing loud as the punchlines drift by
Spinning threads of silk from lies I consume
To block the velvet dark that seeks to bloom
I lean on shadows, fragile as a dream
Drowning slow in a shallow, stagnant stream
Tell the wind, "This is not the end"
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll mend, I pretend
Whispers etched in frost, fading fast
Shattered mirrors, cracking glass
Not real... not real... the die is cast
SHUT UP!
A mannequin trapped in the strobe's white eye
Laughing loud as the punchlines drift by
Spinning threads of silk from lies I consume
To block the velvet dark that seeks to bloom
I lean on shadows, fragile as a dream
Drowning slow in a shallow, stagnant stream
Tell the wind, "This is not the end"
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll mend, I pretend
