persona Lyrics

We all carry illusions, images of people that we craft in our minds

We convince ourselves that they understand us, that we're not alone

We attach ourselves to these illusions

Believing that if someone understands us

Or is a part of us, then it's all worth it

The fog will clear and the way is open

It's overwhelming to face the truth of how eternally alone we all are

Life becomes a constant performance

Each smile, each word, an act

We adorn ourselves in masks, concealing our true selves from the world above

Reality is diabolical

Your hiding place isn't watertight

Life trickles in from the outside and you're forced to react

No one asks if it is true or false, if you're genuine or just a sham

Your persona, and only your persona, is perceived

And you have little control over that as well

So I understand why you don't speak, why you don't move, and

Why you created a part for yourself out of apathy

I understand

I admire you

You should go on with this part until it is played out, until it loses interest in you

Then you can leave it just as you've left your other parts, one by one

I hope that one day, you will find a part that fits you

I hope that one day, you will find a part that fits you

I hope that one day, you will find a part that fits you

Blue and violet, a similar hue

Mistaken by many, their shades askew

Bound together, a simple disguise

Eyes deceived, so their truth hides
