The Vital Art of Pretending - Psalm

I’m afraid, I can’t stand this loneliness

I need your touch, fuel of life

Look into the eyes of the faint-hearted

I need your heart, fuel of life

I need your love, fuel of life

Don’t you turn away, come closer now

Soon there won’t be a turning back

Point of emotional no-return

Walls closing in, close you eyes

You think you know who I am but you

Can’t see through the web of lies

Cause I have betrayed, lied and deceived

Just like all, all of you

This is the game we’re all meant to play

Take a step into my world

Lie, we must lie to meet love, conquer hearts

Dangerous, ominous

Lie, we must lie

Or die alone

Dangerous, ominous

I ain’t the worst kind

Misunderstood

Dangerous, ominous

I’ll play 'til the bitter end

Let me drag you into my world

I just need your trust

Let me drag you into my world

I shall see myself in your eyes

Or I’d be lost

In nothingness

You think you know

What I’ve done?

You think you know

What’s behind this mask?

Honesty, you believe in honesty?

You should run away

Let me be everything you ever wish I’d be

You should be more careful what you wish for

Lost in psychotic war, you will fall

Love, you’re in love

Lost, now you’re lost

You’re roaming on the edge of thorns

Doors closed, you’re mine now

Doors closed, cycle ends

The place where you belong

Is right here with me

Fill my heart with some hope

We all need some light

You believe in false Messiahs

But we’re all clowns

Dangerous, ominous

Please, don’t cry

I’m worth so much more

You believe in this utopia

But we’re all frauds

Dangerous, ominous

Please, don’t cry

You ain’t seen nothing yet

Closer to your heart

I live in my own lie

Closer to your end

You live in my own hell
