lyrics
Verse 1
Mystery, hidden from me,
don't know myself, thought I'd see,
black hole, essence of my soul,
two sides turning cold..
One hand wants to carry this heart,
one hand wants to tear it apart,
It's hate, or embrace, fear, or faith,
they fall, fingers tearing at the walls.
On the other side,
sheltered by the mind
by the fear inside.
Poking the plastic,
wrapped around the cystic
symptoms of imagination.
seeking calibration!
Chorus
The child and the father
feeling disconnected,
escaping everything I am.
I'm shutting myself out,
but these walls are coming down,
the apology for the secret,
the secret, the secret, the secret!
Verse 2
It's too much to handle,
the light is burning, I am learning,
you can't contain this candle,
though it's a bit concerning.
The flames burn with a passionate gaze,
running back and forth through every phase,
every struggle, while everything is subtle,
my eyes dried up in puddles.
The problems exist for a reason,
so don't blame me for treason,
I'm disturbed, but not without cause,
don't expect perfection because,
I'm never safe, and when I say,
what's going on, who really listens?
They keep a close eye, see I'm the bad guy,
when I pushed through hell, I did it all myself!
Breakdown
Twisting and turning,
the knife keeps on burning,
forcing myself,
to be someone else,
I'm my own instrument,
of my success and my hell,
the secret is I don't know myself!
