Breathe in

Breathe out

You have to calm down

Let me show you somewhere

we can hide

We can hide in here

until sunrise

Moving forward

Step by step,

once more

Follow my instructions,

you'll be fine

This will only hurt for a short time

With promises of freedom

I would never lie to you

Only speaking the way you do too

How great that it must be

to walk outside and see

Others like you

and not like me

"I am not like you"

"I can't do all that you do"

"No matter how desperately..."

"I want to"

When you look into my eyes,

you see

A mirage of something trustworthy

I'm not your enemy,

no more anxiety

Though you were right to be wary

'Cause I know how to pretend

How to pretend

Breathe in

Breathe out

I'm lost in here now

and of course I know that

There's no way I can turn back

I'm left in the dark

to play my part

Follow every lie you feed me

as they lead to more and more agony

Are we really on the same team

after all this time?

Are we really feeling

the same pain of the kind?

Watching from the outside, you

can't see all the things I do

You're a circus monster

and now's your cue!

"You were right..."

"when you said that,"

"we're not the same"

"Because unlike you"

"I can feel pain"

When I look into your eyes,

I see

A facade,

you are not trustworthy

You are my enemy

Faking your empathy

I was right to be wary

When you know how to pretend

How to pretend

When you look into my eyes,

you see

A mirage of something trustworthy

I'm not your enemy,

no more anxiety

Though you were right to be wary

'Cause I know

"You're no good at pretending"

Come dance and we'll be prismatic

I'm not falling for all your tricks

Let's put on a show

Before the curtain falls

I won't take a bow

It's time, our finale now

This mangled freakshow

is where we end start it all
