Time has passed

Since my youthful ways

Showed my heart

Gave my game away

Now this mask

Gives me means to be

Anyone

That I need to be

So beware

When you ask of me

What you want to hear

For I will deceive.



In self defense

My self expense

This seventh sense

Might snap your neck

As these instincts

Don't let me think

Pushed past the brink

Evil reacts

Into relapse

This chain reacts

Twist til' it snaps

And all is wrecked

Protect yourself

My heart is hell

I'll tell you once

And then no turning back

No turning back



So you'll stay

Like the others did

Til' I show that face

That I use to rid

Myself of

Any sign of pain

Til' you're gone

And it all starts again



In self defense

My self expense

This seventh sense

Might snap your neck

As these instincts

Don't let me think

Pushed past the brink

Evil reacts

Into relapse

This chain reacts

Twist til' it snaps

And all is wrecked

Protect yourself

My heart is hell

I'll tell you once

And then no turning back

No turning back
