Sift through the rubble
creating a case against this earth
Found in the last place I search
From deep within you force the mirror upon myself
Face my sins, my eyes scratched
blind to this sight
Self-indulgence makes my flesh turn grey
the beauty within, blackened to a darker core
The selfless act brings me into the light
a shell of purity masks my internal decay

I become the demon in my dreams
I become the object of my hate
Soulless, my disposition raped from me
Identity masked by my words

I must remove the mask I wear
I must defeat the demon in my dreams. [x2]

A second-hand soul
dressed in silk to match its peers
playing catch-up to the perfection I adore
Scars under the surface, hidden from them all
they will remain until I reach peace within

I work through this void
search through debris
change frequencies
reclaim myself. [x2]
