The Distortionist

music, lyrics, illust : Ghost-P

vocal : Yohioloid

date : 9 avril 2017

Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a

Mirror shattered long ago

And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat

But, hey, I can’t control the urge!

Nobody’s gonna blame me for that

Impossible, impossible

Twist ‘n turn it right around

The details never safe or sound

The truth projected through a lense

With nothing proving otherwise

Now take the time to realize

Despite what you believe

The victim of a massacre

Was none other than poor me

Surely you can see the problem

I don’t wanna lose my own reflection

A deplorable perception of me

Was none other than an image of you

You’re making a wreck of broken glass

And leaving me a fuckin’ mess

Bending light in a way that shows

Exactly how the story goes

Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear

Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?

Play my games and abide my ways

There’s no way you can compensate

A monster, monster, monster, monster

Now run away, run away, run away

I’m a monster, monster, monster, monster

Now run away, run away, run away

Now you’re the monster

A glimmer of betrayal changes my mind

The odds against your favor

Forever

Ignorant atrocities and

Colorless apologies

This isn’t what it looks to be

I’m not as cruel as you see me

Take the time to realize

Despite what you may see

The mirrors cracked themselves

And I was cut on the broken shards

And how I bled

Stuck in a spotlight brighter than

The smile no one ever saw

Bending light in a way that shows

The truth that left our friends in awe

Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear

Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?

Play my games and abide my ways

There’s no way you can compensate

Madness, it’s madness

Oh, it’s sickening

It’s sickening

You know

It’s unfair, it’s unfair

How you distorted my reflection

In all this madness

It’s madness

Oh, it’s sickening

It’s sickening

You know

It’s unfair, it’s unfair

How you distorted my reflection

You know it’s too late

You’re lost in a world of funhouse mirrors

Twisted for eternity

Bending light in a way that shows

Refraction of hypocrisy

Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear

Now who the hell would’ve ever guessed?

Play my games and abide my ways

There’s no way you can compensate

Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a

Mirror shattered long ago

And, sure, I’m the one who swung the metal bat

But, hey, I can’t control the urge!

Nobody’s gonna blame me for that
