faceless

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

feeding from the tears
to climb the faceless wall
you intend a name forgotten
so the lies would come to fall

and you would be so certain 
of the truth behind it all
that you're reaching even higher
though you do not seem that tall

as you put on the disguise
that will keep the noise from you
you are no more nothing 
see that you can sense it too

bleeding from the fear 
that all of you shines through
you leave another trace
not really knowing what to do

so you keep staring at the eyes
and pray that they will never close
that they will keep your dreams alive
reflect what no one shows

but this lifeless mirror 
fails to break the walls of you
and a thousand shattered faces 
know how to make your lies come true

and your lies come true
your lies come true

Reason for writing:

    only one thing to say... the ending part of Savatage's "Surrender" has been a major influence on writing this piece...
