Cryptopsy - Open Face Surgery Lyrics
I've learned to control my thoughtsever since I recognized the first eavesdropper:those who listen in on my thoughts,my logic, my sanityI cannot let them know I don't knowthe verses, or converse in my head:lash out at future foes,banter with friends I've not yet metThe psychoaggressive minions ofyour lord mock with laugher I can't hear,with hidden scowls they admonish meNothing's sacred, Nothing's safe:your filthy god is omnipresent,this undying nonentity that hauntsmy every waking dream They watch me, his mortal flock,they know me now by sight alone:my thoughts are too well concealed...Yet I sense more scrutinyFleeting lucidity's too loud for me,let me be my silent self:our existences irreconciledMake them stop! I'm rotting fast...The answer, painful though it may be,is changeAlter my outer shell...The listener's may not, then, know it's meOpen Face Surgery: short of painand long on masqueradeOunce by ounce, lose a little weightnip here, tuck there... So who needs eyelids?
