[Verse 1]

Into what goes on forever, beyond perspectives lost

Kaleidoscope vision

Introspective display

What hides in plain sight

[Pre-Chorus]

Force it into my head

Now's the only time

Hiding behind a lie

All I know

[Chorus]

I cast the fire

Inside these hours all alone

For I am in denial

Though never again will I

Direct my shields against another

But turn it on myself

[Verse 2]

Come back to something I need

Come back to misery

Living the misdirection

All I know

The further off center

My lies become

[Pre-Chorus]

Force it into my head

Now's the only time

Hiding behind a lie

All I know

[Chorus]

I cast the fire

Inside these hours all alone

For I am in denial

Though never again will I

Direct my shields against another

But turn it on myself

[Post-Chorus]

No sight - unseen

No light - in between

Gravitational lensing

What they see

Is bent around my lies

[Bridge]

Around this black hole

I have found myself again

Brought out the answers

For my seeing eyes only

Travelling in circles

I have found myself again

No way to face it straight

Inside the lonely

Here in the night of nights

Where nothing shines

I brought the flame down on it all

(Unforgiving)

In time the flame will die

The only hope I have to find

To never deny, never regret

The masquerade is over

[Chorus]

As long as I cast the fire

Inside these hours all alone

For I am in denial

Though never again will I

Direct my shields against another

But turn it on myself
