Walking through the crowd concealed under the perfect guise
Clocking every move, unseen to your naked eyes
Cold as the night, my thoughts, like ice, crystallize
Always two steps ahead as I strategize
No heart to break I mold and fake emotions like a tool
Manipulate the scene serene I play it cool
In silence I divide, confide in none, I rule
A chessboard in my mind, each pawn becomes my fool
Master of the masquerade, faces switch, a seamless trade
Every grin and gesture weighed, every role so deftly played
But beneath the calm display, dangers in the dark pervade
Every smile, each charade, could tip the edge of the blade
Closer now, cracks show, slips in my actions
Eyes pry, doubts grow, cover stories fracture
Will they see the void below, as the facade begins to fray?
One misstep and it all may slip away
It takes a smile to hide the fiends inside you
It takes a mask to veil the demons that bide you
But beware to put your sickness in their view
’Cause it takes a pair of so-called healthy people to hang you
A Pair of So-Called Healthy People To Hang You
You paint your world in black and white
Define the lines, decide what’s right
But your own anger dims the light
Your own rage makes your mind ignite
You fear the ones who do not feel
But go berserk when feelings reel
Keep pointing fingers at my ruse
You normals lighting the fuse
It takes a smile to hide the fiends inside you
It takes a mask to veil the demons that bide you
But beware to put your sickness in their view
’Cause it takes a pair of so-called healthy people to hang you
A Pair of So-Called Healthy People To Hang You, and PSyCHoPaTHY.
It takes a smile to hide the fiends inside you.
