As You Lie
The Machinist: Unveiling Darkness in 'As You Lie'
Lyrics
I am what you fear, your nightmare
I embody your fears, the source of your nightmares
The reason that you lie awake
I am the cause of your sleepless nights
I am the shadow that's lurking
I am the lurking shadow, a manifestation of your hidden fears
The result of all your mistakes
I represent the consequences of all the errors you've made
Wherever you turn
I will persist wherever you go
I will follow
My presence will persist until you face the consequences
Until you burn
Even as you suffer, I will continue to pursue you
I will follow
I will persist until you are consumed by the consequences of your actions
I'll take a piece of you for everyone that you robbed
I will take a part of you for every person you have cheated or harmed
I'll make you beg me to go to the hell you belong
You will plead with me to be condemned to the place where you rightfully belong
I was your fantasy once
I used to be your fantasy, but now I will show you the reality of being possessed
Now I'm letting you know what it's like to be mine
I will make you understand what it feels like to be under my control
I want to watch everything that you love fall apart as you lie there paralyzed
I desire to witness everything dear to you crumble while you lie helpless
Wherever you turn
I will persist in haunting you, no matter where you turn
I will follow
My pursuit will continue until you face the consequences of your actions
Until you burn
Even in your suffering, I will relentlessly follow
I will follow
I will persist until the repercussions of your wrongdoing consume you
I'll take a piece of you for everyone that you've wronged
I will take a part of you for every person you have harmed
I'll make you beg me to go to the hell you belong
You will beg me to send you to the place where you rightfully belong
I like you better when you are weak
I prefer you when you are vulnerable and powerless
With too much blood in your mouth to speak
When you are unable to speak due to the consequences of your actions
Pay me with everything
Compensate me with everything you have
Satisfy my greed
Satisfy my insatiable greed with your offerings
Pay me with everything
Give me everything you possess as retribution for what you've done to me
For what you've done to me
Your recompense should match the harm you inflicted upon me
Pay me with everything
Your payment should reflect the exhilaration I feel at the thought of revenge
The thought it fucking thrilling
The idea of retribution is highly stimulating to me
Wherever you turn
I will persist in haunting you, regardless of where you go
I will follow
My pursuit will endure until you face the consequences of your actions
Until you burn
Even in your suffering, I will relentlessly follow
I will follow
I will persist until the repercussions of your wrongdoing consume you
I'll take a piece of you for everyone that you've wronged
I will take a part of you for every person you have harmed
I'll make you beg me to go to the hell you belong
You will beg me to send you to the place where you rightfully belong
