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 voicescream 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?
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
