Crown The Empire - Maniacal Me

When color starts to fade everything you see is tainted grey As hope drains from your veins Fear will slowly take its place Feel the charge rush down your spine Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark All it takes is a spark The masquerade Is lit ablaze Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul There's a maniac within, taking hold of me again No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac I'm a fucking maniac! Scarlet drapes my eyes the phantom calls from deep inside Revealing my disguise, the freak beneath has come alive Suffering is all I'm wanting You've been chosen for my haunting The masquerade Is lit ablaze Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul There's a maniac within, taking hold of me again No place left for me to hide behind the eyes of a maniac I'm a maniac, a maniac, a maniac! I am the bane of your existence Feeble are all your attempts at resistance Stealing your sanity, watching you rot Just lying in wait, ready or not Here I come! You stare in the mirror and the evil you see Is the menace within you that you have set free Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek But there's no escaping maniacal me
