Tell-Tale Art

A thousand lives, a cold glare
Whispered secrets, skin laid bare
Icing needles from a darkened sky
Scream inside, a shielding cry
A shielding cry

A jaded light, white as sin
Penetrates piercing skin
All to fail, the flesh gives in
The meat puppet cocks his strings

In my chest, like a star
Hides my heart beneath the scars
Of betrayal, for lustful love
For all my sins, no solution, the wrath

They show you pictures, scene after scene
So instructive, so obscene
Infiltrate reality
An acquired insanity

In my chest, like a star
Hides my heart beneath the scars
Of betrayal, for lustful love
For all my sins, no solution, the wrath

Unwanted gift, cut it away
Redirect your hate, another way
Retain control, a closing breath
Trembling hands, no more death

In my chest, like a star
Hides my heart beneath the scars
Of betrayal, for lustful love
For all my sins, no solution, the wrath
