Frayed Edges

Frayed at the edges, a paper-thin skin

Another face in the crowd where the vultures spin

The neon bleeds on the slick city street

Tasting the bitter of a long-lost sweet

A static hum inside my head

A silent argument with the walking dead

I'm just a phantom in a broken home

Whispering to a world that's all alone.

​Staring at the ceiling, chasing ghosts on the wall

Waiting for the silence to finally fall

Am I a promise that was never kept?

A simple secret that the daylight slept?

​(Chorus)

​BREAK THE SCRIPT! SHED THE SKIN!

LET THE DEVIL IN!

I AM THE LUNATIC, THE FRACTURED TRUTH

THE BLOODY FANGS OF A WASTED YOUTH!

SEVER THE WIRES! SILENCE THE TONE!

FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE BARE BONE!

YOU CAN'T STOP THIS! YOU CAN'T CONTAIN!

I AM THE FURY, THE ACID RAIN!

​

​Buried deep, the serpent sleeps

And secrets that the darkness keeps

Are rising to the surface now

A broken promise, a whispered voice,

This is not my fault not my choice.

​(Chorus)

​BREAK THE SCRIPT! SHED THE SKIN!

LET THE DEVIL IN!

(I am the lunatic, the fractured truth...)

I AM THE LUNATIC, THE FRACTURED TRUTH!

THE BLOODY FANGS OF A WASTED YOUTH!

(Sever the wires... silence the tone...)

SEVER THE WIRES! SILENCE THE TONE!

FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE BARE BONE!

(You can't stop this... you can't contain...)

YOU CAN'T STOP THIS! YOU CAN'T CONTAIN!

I AM THE FURY, THE ACID RAIN!

​(Outro)
