lyrics

Lyrics:

For years I've been spinning this web
Unwavering and impenetrable
A masquerade, free to observe without being seen
So comfortable to be alone

Trying to evade desaster, to avoid injury
Trying to blend in without exposing myself
Emprisoned in my own shelter, everything is safe and clear
A feeling of security, no threats are posed upon me here

Have I won, or have I lost?

Keep wearing your disguise, hide your face
Close those misty eyes and feel safe
Pins and needles destroy my silken fortress
Rays of light burn me alive

Ashes and dust, like a fish without water
An attempt to hide before they tear me to pieces
A suffocating scream, full of panic and anxiety
No sense of direction, I'm trying to escape
No place left where they won't find me
The game is over, have I won or have I lost
The only place, where they won't find me
The game is over, have I won or have I lost?

Keep wearing your disguise, hide your face
Close those misty eyes and feel safe
Pins and needles destroy my silken fortress
Rays of light burn me alive

As I lie on the floor with my corpse ripped open
Scars strewn across my heart
Penetrating gazes deprive me of my last prospects of protection
As I lie on the floor with my corpse ripped open

I cannot save you
You remain alone inside your cave
Inside your cave
I cannot save you
Inside your cave
Inside your
