| When color starts to fade, everything you see is tainted grey
|
| As hope drains from your veins
|
| Fear will slowly take its place
|
| Feel the charge rush down your spine
|
| Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind
|
| Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts
|
| The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark
|
| All it takes is a spark
|
| The masquerade is lit ablaze
|
| Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul
|
| There’s a maniac within, taking hold of me again
|
| No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
|
| I’m a fucking maniac!
|
| Scarlet drapes my eyes the phantom calls from deep inside
|
| Revealing my disguise, the freak beneath has come to life
|
| Suffering is all I’m wanting
|
| You’ve been chosen for my haunting
|
| The masquerade is lit ablaze
|
| Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul
|
| There’s a maniac within, taking hold of me again
|
| No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac
|
| I’m a maniac
|
| I’m a maniac, a maniac, a maniac
|
| I am the bane of your existence
|
| Feeble are all your attempts at resistance
|
| Stealing your sanity, watching you rot
|
| Just lying in wait, ready or not
|
| Here I come!
|
| You stare in the mirror and the evil you see
|
| Is the menace within you that you have set free
|
| Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek
|
| But there’s no escaping maniacal me |
