In the centre of thousand mirrors
solitary I
chained and stained with blood
caged my rage and pride
In the centre of thousand strangers
staring into my
blank and black and dead
soul that coaled on stride

of myself unknown to me
chided, moulded carefully
every muscle of my body
veined flesh filled with sanity

waited in the heavy rain
waited silently, waited patiently
endured the weight of my chain
waited silently, waited patiently
burning under the scorching sun
waited silently, waited patiently
chrysalis enclosed in thin linen
waited silently, waited patiently

In the centre of thousand clones
pointing right at me
wield and peel my skin
inch by inch shoven
In the centre of thousand voices
dogma of reality
weed my creed of sin
yell in hell - heaven

blinded ears of my mind
hear them fear the aberrant
shriek cries of my soul grind
walls of halls left dormant

waited in the heavy rain
waited silently, waited patiently
endured the weight of my chain
waited silently, waited patiently
burning under the scorching sun
waited silently, waited patiently
chrysalis enclosed in thin linen
waited silently, waited patiently

let the rust eat away
each link
set them into a visceral jolt
let anguish break away
this clink
I am ready, I am ready to molt

shattered glasses accelerated - shiny angels penetrated
slashed every vein - endured the pain

I shed my bloody wings - I shed my barren limbs
slowly and slowly
I shed promises made - I shed my own shade
slowly and slowly
I shed everything I was taught
I shed every restraining knot

leave my endoskeleton out in the air
free of devoir - free of guilt
leave my endoskeleton out in the air
let me restart - let me rebuild
