Painted Smile

I can't even remember how it started. A nagging voice, my normal then departed from me. Primal urges spiriting my senses away. Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be. Preyed upon by the lowest of society. They're parasitic. Demanding your confirmatory. Pushing limits. Things are gonna get real ugly. Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity.

I'm not but a shadow of what I was. And I'm hell bent and headed for you. Surly you've realised that there's no way out of this? Alive. Close your eyes. Because it's time for you to go to sleep.

Climbing through your window pane. I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on! Mock me! Say I'm insane! But it's you whose caught in my game. Cat and mouse a lovely circle. Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful. Hush now, won't you stay a while, join me with a Painted Smile?

Tragic faces stationed at my bedside warm embraces hollowed in the inside and their eyes betrayed them, widening with fear and worry. Fuses burn down, and my vision becomes blurry. Liars always feel me with this unchained fury. Carve this face into their darkest memories 'cause that's just show biz.  This is a divine comedy. Ready? Action! Pray that you're fast enough to flee.

I'm not entirely unsympathetic. So I'll give you the count unto three. Surly you've realised that there's no way out of this? Alive. Close your eyes. Because it's time for you to go to sleep.

Climbing through your window pane. I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on! Mock me! Say I'm insane! But it's you whose caught in my game. Cat and mouse a lovely circle. Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful. Hush now, won't you stay a while and join me with a Painted Smile?

Patience is a virtue when you're working on a master piece and tolerance is valued when you're working on a living canvass. Stitch my words into tender flesh. This grin will stay forever fresh. Don't be lonely. Don't be jealous. Your turn's coming how could I forget? Still awake. Hehe. Not for long.

Climbing through your window pane. I'm creeping closer, can you hear me? Go on! Mock me! Say I'm insane! But it's you whose caught in my game. Cat and mouse a lovely circle. Watch your tongue! Those words are hurtful. Hush now, won't you stay a while and join me with a Painted Smile?
