Hell

Reflections fading
Hearts are dead
With lies persuading
We’re mislead

Have you seen your face?
It’s burnt and scarred
Your screams are lost in silence
Your mind in shards

Our eyes are closed here
Our love is blind
Trade your soul to kill fear
Let’s die inside

It seems I have awoken
The mirrors spell
I forced my mind to open
But I see hell

Screams, horror and fire
Dreams creating downfall
All our love replaced by wires
Dreams creating their walls

Bleeding as I play dead
Show me why
Make sure our lies don’t regress
We’re all just dust until we die
