No turning back

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Completely different you seem
As though you've dropped your mask
Or exchanged it for a different one
Don't you know
That once you're there
There's no turning back
Which had never been my intention

I didn't ask for more
I'd never do a thing like this
But in breaking this seal
I took more than what is good for you
I can't explain
It's just that I know
That a mask which is dropped
Doesn't leave without trace 
And the fatal result 
Is you're losing your face

Sounding like it makes no sense
You gave me your all 
As well as your innocence
Now you pray they won't ask
What you've done with your life
And by whom it was taken

Your only way out 
Is more than I can take
I'm losing my ground
As well as my breath
I have to admit
You've struck a nerve in me
And also a vein

As the last drop of blood
Sickens your sight
Mine does fade to black
I hope that you know
There's no turning back
