Halloween
Unveiling the Mask: Johnny Knox's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
They think they know me but they
Others believe they understand who I am, but...
Don’t see clearly when it
Clarity is lacking when it comes to perceiving me.
Comes to me they only
People only see...
See what they see what they wanna see
...what they choose to see, not the reality.
Got stabbed in my back more than
I've faced betrayal multiple times...
Once or twice it felt like
...and it felt as if some wanted me to fail.
Some would love to see me
There are those who would delight in witnessing...
Give up on give up on my own dreams
...me abandoning my dreams.
Halloween can’t come soon enough
Halloween, a symbolic time, cannot arrive soon enough.
My mask is starting to fade
My disguise is deteriorating.
Written in the stars is my life
My life is predetermined, written in the stars.
At least up there is some space
At least in the cosmos, there is space for me.
Corroded lungs from this fate
My lungs suffer from the consequences of fate.
I hate the way that I say
I dislike the way I express myself.
My prophecies change so they
My predictions change, causing...
Suffocate suffocate how I breathe
...suffocation, altering how I breathe.
Look at the lines on my face
Examining the lines on my face reveals...
See all the sleep that it takes
...the toll of sleeplessness.
My bed of roses felt great
Initially, my pleasant experiences felt like...
Till I made till I made myself
...a bed of roses until I sabotaged myself.
Wake
Awakening to reality.
Halloween can’t come soon enough
Halloween's arrival is eagerly anticipated.
My mask is starting to fade
My disguise is losing its effectiveness.
Written in the stars is my life
My life's course is predetermined by celestial bodies.
At least up there is some space
At least there is space for me among the stars.
Nobody ever said I’m saved
Nobody has declared me saved or...
Their love became a ricochet now
...protected; their love has backfired like a ricochet.
I bled and bled till they came around
I've bled extensively until they came around.
Nobody ever said I’m safe
Nobody assured my safety.
They’re words became my own cliche how?
Their words have turned into my predictable cliché.
I’ve been lost so lost but never been found
I've experienced being lost, yet...
They think they know me but they don’t
...never truly found by others who think they know me.
