about

A metal song with a progressive edge about a nightmare. From 2011.

lyrics

I’ve worn this mask
For as long as I know
I’ve played this charade
Of sanity, self-control

Who am I?
As I look in the mirror, I am not sure
What am I?
The mask falls and behind it another one forms

I turn faceless
The lie that I told myself my eternal disguise
Confined to the frame of Dorian Gray
I’m staring without eyes.

Hypnotized myself
Hear Narcissus screams
When the illusion shatters
And he’s forgotten his dreams

Who am I?
The mirror shows me another mask of mine
What am I?
Between the thin lines’s a portrait of Jekyll&Hyde

I turn faceless
The lie that I told myself my eternal disguise
Confined to the frame of Dorian Gray
I’m staring without…

Faceless…
Staring…
At masks I’m…
Wearing…

The mirror Whispers…
A muffled name…
Entranced by the voice…
I fade away…
