When did the clothes of my thoughts turn into skin
Built a cage of mirrors to keep the world out from within
In the rush to blind the others, in the great and hollow game
In the lie to fool them all, I fooled myself again
There was light enough to fill the house, the rooms were warm and bright
But I chased the sun too reckless, burned my hands reaching for the height
Now the ashes taste like victory, but the silence knows my shame
In the lie to fool them all, I fooled myself again
Oh, I fooled myself again
Wore the mask until the mask became my face
Oh, I fooled myself again
Built a dream and lost myself inside the space
I collected all the sorrows of the yesterdays like gold
And the dreams of all tomorrows were too heavy for me to hold
All the hopes came down like rain, every promise turned to rust
Now the only thing remaining is the echo of the trust
Oh, I fooled myself again
Wore the mask until the mask became my face
Oh, I fooled myself again
Built a dream and lost myself inside the space
Maybe happiness is coming — that's what kept me getting through
"Just survive today," I whispered. How many tomorrows flew?
Time won't wait, or time will take — the fear I planted grew
Every monster I invented in my chest… I never knew
When did the clothes of my thoughts turn into skin
Now I can't tell where the lie ends and where I begin
I was playing with the mirrors, but the cracks went down within
In the lie to fool them all — I fooled myself again
When did the clothes of my thoughts…
Turn into skin…
I fooled myself again
I fooled myself again
