Shapeshifter's Lament

Verse] Warped and wicked lies the skin Veins of crimson twist within Eyes see shadows breathin' steam Wanderin’ 'bout a dream unreal [Verse 2] Heart beats hollow fake and fraud Bones just scaffolds for a god Disguise wears thin like a paper mask Echoes of the savage past [Chorus] Shape so twisted fears untold Crave the warmth you withhold Skies shatter silent scream Living within a haunted dream Shadows whisper secrets dark In your presence, leave my mark Yearning bleeds through every pore Oh Love and hunger waged in war [Verse 3] Shape so shifty melt and mend Beast beneath this carnal friend Mock the pulse I imitate Nature's pawn I hesitate [Verse 4] Stare me down with eyes so clear Taste of hope and brightest fear Offput by this masquerade Yet I linger in your shade [Chorus] Shape so twisted fears untold Crave the warmth you withhold Skies shatter silent scream Living within a haunted dream Shadows whisper secrets dark In your presence, leave my mark Yearning bleeds through every pore Oh Love and hunger waged in war [Verse 5] Masking horror, I draw near Every heartbeat drenched in fear Touch the surface, gentle skin Beneath the flesh, the chaos spins [Verse 6] Hollow voice, a borrowed tone In your presence, not alone Pulse quickens, breath of prey Yet for you, I choose to stay [Bridge] Fragile fabric woven tight Consume thy love beneath the night In this form no one can see Oh Monstrous heart that beats for thee [Chorus] Shape so twisted fears untold Crave the warmth you withhold Skies shatter silent scream Living within a haunted dream Shadows whisper secrets dark In your presence, leave my mark Yearning bleeds through every pore Oh Love and hunger waged in war
