Act II. Persona Obscura Lyrics

Oh doctor, please elaborate
Why this pitch black soul
Has taken control over me?

So tell me now, how am I supposed to feel
When they bow down like slaves and carry a torch for me?
I am a saint with a sinner heart
Pitch black from the start
Splattered on a shining star.

It's haunting me again
Trapped in this loophole to infinity
Please make it stop, just let it end
Fall from the top, let's play pretend.

Of those many things I hide
The worst one's buried deep inside
Those demons took my will to fight.
Is this hell or high water?
So many times I've faltered
Now this creature went out of control.

I can see them dancing in the palm of my hands.
They're dancing to my tune, again and again.

Even if I was born again,
The circle wouldn't find it's end, oh no
That make-believe, all that pretend
I tried. I can't. I can't. I can't.

No. Those demons took my will to fight.
This creature went out of control.

Blessed, but possessed.
Praised as saint, but insane.
Get me out of my mind,
Get me out of my. Mind! Mind!

I am everything and nothing.
A ghost that can't exist.
I am a king with a leash around my wrist.
