House of Mirrors

Why do we try to take control Desensitized, what is it for? Was it good intention? It's all a matter of perception I'm beaten down and torn and sworn to secrecy The sun in the sky, incentivized Don't even try to belittle me Burning down the fuse of an uneven exchange Pupils lying vacant Your demeanor, always doubtful Misguided in droves, you lead them through the fog Well you should have known better than to get too close to me Before I explode See for yourself and listen Cast out from the outside looking in A change of heart brings new perspective You can't deny the pieces fit Face facts about the world you're living in There's really nothing here to stay for But can you will yourself to leave it? Eyes bled dry by patchwork people Secrets lie just under the skin Paint my self portrait with a dagger just to get to them Pacing back and forth, lock the doors On this house of mirrors Surrender to the dark, it's so much easier See for yourself and listen Cast out from the outside looking in A change of heart brings new perspective You can't deny the pieces fit Face facts about the world you're living in There's really nothing here to stay for But can you will yourself to leave it? This heartbeat starts to slow This experiment, a testament to tragedy I won't empathize, nowhere to hide No, you won't get my sympathy Hell itself now frozen over And we didn't learn anything We didn't learn anything We didn't learn anything
