Mask of Sanity

I like your face

Your hips and waist

It's poisonous but I still crave the taste

I like your skin

Your timid grin

It's time to feast but where do I begin?

I sit you down at my table and we say grace

I strap you tight in the chair, so you stay in place

I'm getting hungry, I can feel the void taking control

But you'll never know

I hear a scream echo in silence

And my dreams are full of violence

Yeah, I'm lying through my teeth

For the sake of vanity

I feel alive when I deceive

Hiding the truth will set me free

But I'm lying through my teeth, you should see what's underneath

My mask of sanity

Yeah, you should see what's underneath

My mask of sanity

I like your flesh

It's cold and pale

I like my DNA under your nails

I like your eyes

Even though they're grey

The only thing I miss is hearing your voice scream my name

I hear a scream echo in silence

And my dreams are full of violence

Yeah, I'm lying through my teeth

For the sake of vanity

I feel alive when I deceive

Hiding the truth will set me free

But I'm lying through my teeth, you should see what's underneath

My mask of sanity

Some things never change

Believe me, I've tried

To leave all the aching and cravings behind

Some things never leave

Some things never die

But I won't succumb, I refuse to live a lie

Peel back all my skin

Carve up my face

Cut out a piece of me

Tell me, how does it taste?

Augh!

How does it taste? Yeah

Peel back all my skin

Carve up my face

Cut out a piece of me

Tell me, how does it taste?

I hear a scream echo in silence

And my dreams are full of violence

Yeah, I'm lying through my teeth

For the sake of vanity

I feel alive when I deceive

Hiding the truth will set me free

But I'm lying through my teeth, you should see what's underneath

My mask of sanity

Yeah, you should see what's underneath

My mask of sanity
