Deceit

 Bringing you songs from farthest suns and moons...

While I am trapped between four walls.

The art of manifestation and, becoming what you fear...

You were my idol of sin, and I was your grieving cupid.
Dragging you now, to the void of deceit...

Love is perfect...
But man is flawed.

Into blindness, I welcome you...

Diving deep, into the inner, you.

To plant the precious seed in your heart and soul...

The seed of thorns.

Aiming higher than you can fly...

The more you reach out for me...

The more you wont find me.

And you will end up, forever empty handed.

This is not a transient failure.

Will I ever...

Catch you if you fall?

Of dreams dissolved in bitter reality...

I'll leave you be... with your dreams...

As they are your safest haven.

Face the bitter truth...

That we were two lovers with guns...

Each one aimed at each other's head.

This love was devoid...

Devoid of light, devoid of life.

As you were seduced by your unpleasant fears...

But silenced by prevention.

Don't believe me today...

Because I stopped believing in myself.

I lost something along the way...

I lost ... Me.

To me, you were my valentine's prey.

And I am not sorry for deceiving you, not sorry for leading you...

Into loving the man... I once wished to be.

We were all born under the same moon...

But our tragedies are different.

The best way to defeat oneself...

Is to kill oneself.

Nurture your devils, and sacrifice your enemies.

And forever, darkness will dwell within.
