Ice Facades Lyrics

I'll pass by like a stranger should

My mask of ice still holding good

Like poison dripping through my veins

You clutch me close, but love refrains

Your fingertips trace phantom lines

While shadows dance through your designs

That wicked smile cuts like a blade

I won't submit to games you've played

How many hearts have bled for you?

How many souls you've wandered through?

And over and over again

They've passed like smoke through empty halls

Never breaching your crystal walls

You've danced on strings of countless fools

Now here I stand among your tools

Behind glazed eyes, you drift apart

Someone else owns your restless heart

This hollow dance of flesh and bone

Leaves both of us equally alone

And over and over again

Don't dress this up in fancy lies

We're just two moths beneath night skies

Crashed together, torn apart

Playing roles in your fine art

Let's split these paths while pride remains

Before we rust in autumn rains

Don't poison wells you'll never drink

Don't break the chains you'll never link

When next you're wrapped in someone's dream

Spinning tales of love supreme

Our eyes might lock across the crowd

Like ghosts beneath a thunder cloud

A slight turn of your graceful head

Whispered words left hanging, dead

I'll pass by like a stranger should

My mask of ice still holding good
