The messages around me; wear me down
I didn't want to let you down
None of you
A truth I suffered
Bore my soul to love
What I thought was love
Cannibalised by someone I loved
Imagine trusting the one you loved
Just imagine.

Syrophenikon - the unmasking
Works both ways, in the end
Around me those near me
Wanted me to have a partner
Move on they say
You can't be alone, it isn't normal
So, to shut them up
I did.

Lies, fake lies, you don't want me to be alone
But you can't accept or understand
That this isn't what I wanted.

You deceived me, you tore out my heart,
Your lies unmasked you and showed, me
who you truly are.
You deceiver, you who said,
You'd always love me and be true to me.
You who said you would be honest with me.

You wanted me to be what you wanted me to be
You didn't ask me what I wanted
So, I became the deceiver to be my own protector.

The truth is I am a man
Who has witnessed hell
I watch the lights ahead of me.

Syrophenikon - the unmasking.

Now I know who I am
I unmask to all asunder.
