Persona - Armour of Thorns Lyrics

You think you know me
This shining smile and burning eyes
But beneath this skin
I'm nothing but disguise
And I'm still changing
My inner fire turned to ice
No more falling, no heartache
No vows or sacrifice

I'm breaking within
Why don't you feel my pain
How can I live
If I give in
Why can't you see
This darkness in me
Help me to understand
Who is in control

What is this wraith of madness
Ripping through my heart with poisonous hands
Destroying
Every truth I have
It taunts me
Eludes me
Defies me

Under this armor
My sunken heart still lives in chains
Torn from strength and compassion to
Nothing but remains
And I'm still fading
This shield consumed my hopes and fears
Turned my light into memory
Engraved in frozen tears

I beg you to see
How much it hurts
This struggle is real
Why won't you hear my cries
How can you be
So cold and severe
You left me here
To stand by myself
To find my own way, so
Now I fight alone

Reborn in pain of vengeance
You will never harm or break me again
This beast will
Swallow all I am
The fall is endless
Frightening

I WIN

As days go by
I lose my mind
Fallen in doubt
Torn and confined
I try to see
I try to fight
What is this thing that I became
Am I to blame

Unyielding as stone
Biting as glass
That's what you wanted me to be
