Despised Icon - In the Arms of Perdition текст песни

Plunged in bitterness,
Seduced by an ocean of discontent
Carrying an everlasting smile with insouciance,
Cultivating this disconnection with every single interaction.

You won't lure me any further.
I've been drinking too much shadow and now maybe I shall blossom.
This misconception of human loneliness must be disregarded.

I will stare at life like I never did before.
This game is useless and everything's so deceptive.
My ambitions may look low but so is the price. I cannot win.
What's the meaning of this precious souvenir?
Suppress these feelings.

Forget the man you were!
Forget the man you were!
Even if we both knew that you'd rather be unloved and...
Forget the man you were!
...Nameless than be furtively surrounded.

Carrying an everlasting smile with insouciance.
I honestly know that demons will not hear me scream
And angels won't see me cry.
Isolation is in the fact that the only thing I require.
No false promises await in my nightmares.
Nothing, except my own predestined downfall.
Look at this smile and think I'm cheerful like you always were.
