Painted Smile - Madame Macabre

I can't even remember how it started
A nagging voice
My normal then departed from me
Primal urges spiriting my sense away
Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be

Preyed upon by the lowest of society
They're parasitic
Demanding your conformity
Pushing limits
Things are gonna get real ugly
Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity

I'm not but a shadow of what I was
And I'm hellbent and headed for you

Surely you've realized that there's no way out of this alive
Close your eyes
'Cause it's time for you to
Go To Sleep

Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer
Can you hear me?
Go on, mock me, say I'm insane
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse
A lovely circle
Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while
Join me with a painted smile

Tragic faces stationed at my bedside
Warm embraces hollow on the inside
And their eyes betray them
Widening with fear and worry
Fuses burn down
And my vision becomes blurry

Liars always fill me with this unchained fury
Carve this face into their darkest memories
'Cause that's just showbiz
This is a Divine Comedy
Ready
Action
Pray that you are fast enough to flee.

I'm not entirely unsympathetic
So I'll give you the count until three.

Surely you've realized that there's no way out of this alive;
Close your eyes
'Cause it's time for you to
Go To Sleep

Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer
Can you hear me?
Go on, mock me, say I'm insane
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse
A lovely circle
Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while
Join me with a painted smile

Patience is a virtue
When you're working on a masterpiece
And tolerance is valued when you're
Working on a living canvas
Stitch my words into tender flesh
This grin will stay forever fresh

Don't be lonely
Don't be jealous
Your turn's coming
How could I forget?

Still awake? Not for long...

Climbing through your window pane
I'm creeping closer
Can you hear me?
Go on, mock me, say I'm insane
But it's you who's caught in my game
Cat and mouse
A lovely circle
Watch your tongue, those words are hurtful
Hush now, won't you stay a while?
Join me with a painted smile
