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
