SHADE​:​PERSONA

from DARKWORLD by The Doyenne

/

lyrics

So many faces, devoid of feeling
Encompass the layers of my soul
And so many times did I make those makes faces smile
To reach and obtain a particular goal
I've grown accustomed to confinement
because it's all I've ever known
Trust others? That was never an option
Because honesty I was never shown

I say that as a man whose lived
And not a victim or a child
Everyone's so concerned with your marketability
That they don't give care about your style
Well now I sit before the Asgard symphony
Peeling away layers and walls that I built in my heart
These Personas, these lies must be torn down
If I choose to be apart of the world

These are the shades of my Persona
I wanna be free but they won't let me (x2)
This is my Persona
This is also my Persona (x2)

A lifetime of opportunities ultimately wasted
And it's no one's fault but mine
The voices in my head won't go away
From the subconscious shelter of my mind
I'm too cautious, I care what others think.
I'm not enough of this and too much of that
Insecurities keep me warm at night so
What is this chill running down my back

Glam-Funk.
