Looking Glass Memoirs

Alchemy X


On the other side of romance, beats still the broken heart 
Ashes scattered in a storm, the lyric mutes the sea 
Forbearance proved to be expensive 
As I listened by the door 

A Masquerade in subtle shade 
I see what you want me to see 
Accolades and neophytes 
Tell me what you want me to hear 

On the other face of innocence, acceptance on the half-shell 
Coined the perfect catch-phrase - expedience and doom 
You never thought it could happen to you 
Anonymity in full 

A Masquerade in subtle shade 
I see what you want me to see 
Lonely in its reticence 
Dangerous to all those who believe 

You come apart amidst the wreckage 
Bleeding heart seeps condensed aggression 

Broken by conventional charity 
Apocalyptic in my apathy 

We come together under stars of latency 
Wasted ambition 
Umbrage and clarity 

Drawn towards the flame of disparity 
Time to change the reality
