Into what goes on forever 
Beyond perspectives lost 
Kaleidoscope vision 
Introspective display 
What hides in plain sight 

Force it into my head 
Now is the only time 
Hiding behind a lie 
All I know 

I cast the fire 

Inside these hours 
All alone 
For I am in denial 
Though never again will I 
Direct my shields 
Against another 
But turn it on myself 

Come back 
To something I need 
Come back to misery 
Living the misdirection 
All I know 
The further off center 
My lies become 

Force it into my head 
Now is the only time 
Hiding behind a lie 
All I know 

I cast the fire 

Inside these hours 
All alone 
For I am in denial 
Though never again will I 
Direct my shields 
Against another 
But turn it on myself 

No sight - unseen 
No light - in between 
Gravitational lensing 
What they see 
Is bent around my lies 

Around this black hole 
I have found myself again 
Brought out the answers 
For my seeing eyes only 
Travelling in circles 
I have found myself again 
No way to face it straight 
Inside the lonely 

Here in the night of nights 
Where nothing shines 
I brought the flame down 
On it all - unforgiving 
In time the flame will die 
The only hope I have to find 
To never deny, never regret 
The masquerade is over 

As long as I cast the fire
