Act II. Persona Obscura - No Need To Stay

Oh doctor, please elaborate

Why this pitch black soul

has taken control over me?

So tell me now, how am I supposed to feel

When they bow down like slaves and carry a torch for me?

I am a saint with a sinner heart

Pitch black from the start

Splattered on a shining star.

It’s haunting me again

Trapped in this loophole to infinity

Please make it stop, just let it end

Fall from the top, let’s play pretend.

Of those many things I hide

The worst one’s buried deep inside

Those demons took my will to fight.

Is this hell or high water?

So many times I’ve faltered

Now this creature went out of control.

I can see them dancing in the palm of my hands.

They’re dancing to my tune, again and again.

Even if I was born again,

The circle wouldn’t find it’s end, oh no

That make-believe, all that pretend

I tried.

I can’t.

I can’t.

I can’t.

No. Those demons took my will to fight.

This creature went out of control.

Blessed, but possessed.

Praised as saint, but insane.

Get me out of my mind,

Get me out of my.

Mind!

Mind!

I am everything and nothing.

A ghost that can’t exist.

I am a king with a leash around my wrist.
