Idolon

Pry from the outside
And cut your way in
Perceptions blend, it’s what you make of it
When admiration becomes a blight
Desire meets possession at such a fine line

So temporary, yet by design
Everything feels so real
Inflated yet fragile
A glass house in a mine field

Bleed me out like your prey
How artificial we dream
Caught in the lies you say so you sleep
While you sharpen your teeth and burrow
Deep into the abyss darkness swallows you whole
Consumes from within until you’re hollow

Has your conscience forsaken me?
You pulled me up to watch me drown
Shallow visions encircling
From up so high I'm set to fail
Caught in the eclipse
Of a life I can’t live out
I am sinking
Has your conscience forsaken me?
You pulled me up to watch me-

Drown in it
This endless convergence of who I’ve been
I’ll never reach the peak, just one mistake away from being taken from me
Stare into the abyss as it swallows you whole
Consumes you from within until you're hollow

Now our fears align
Fused as one, I am infinite

Bending
Breaking
I'm real, flesh and bone
See me
Shifting
What’s left of me in this dissonance?
Taken
Over
Is this husk of a mind worth saving?
In this violence
I am infinite

I'm dreaming
In shades of blue

Has your conscience forsaken me?
You pulled me up to watch me drown
Shallow visions encircling
From up so high, I'm set to fail
Caught in the eclipse
Of a life I can’t live out
I am sinking
Has your conscious forsaken me?
You pulled me up to watch me drown

I'm dreaming
In shades of blue
I'm drifting
Into you
