about

This track was one of my favorites to write as a vocalist. It was very interesting writing a heavier and darker song, tone-wise and lyrically.

lyrics

Let go of the image you see me as.
You see fame, you see cars, you see everything that you want.
Your idolatry is blind, naive, and it feeds more into my anguish.

These images are of gold.
These images are what keep you sold.
But I only see the gray timeline of a man who has been to hell and back.

I lived through the pain, of having a broken home.
Safety and care were almost nonexistent.
You've put me on a pedastal, as I hear you...
Ex-alt.
My name.

But this is all wrong!
Look past all of the riches!
To see the truth covering this face!
A face that's filled with torment.

Broken hearts lead to broken bones, in the house of the true unknown.
I, THE UNKNOWN, have lived this home filled with sin.
Her heart beats faster as the chemical fills her veins.
His heart beats quicker as his fist beats harder.

I can't take this pain any longer.
Your praise does not bring me hope.
Because this life is just a joke,
Don't put your faith in me.

(Don't... Put...)
Don't put your faith in ME!!!

I'm an Illusion!
I can't be the one who tells you who to be!
Don't put your faith in me!
Don't put your faith... In me!
