Mirthless - Bereft Lyrics

You once seemed like a stubborn stain
Tenacious, grudge-maintaining pain
Now bereft of all sensations
I must convince you I'm insane
Believe me

It once seemed like we raised a knight
Secured as a servant to his leader
Now begging your beliefs to change
I must confess that I am insane

Believe me
I belong to another purpose
Call me a traitor
But it pains me to pose as a mannequin
No longer a display
Believe me, I am insane
No more

Believe me, I am insane
Believe me, it pains

There was once a way we could all
Diverge from our convictions
And merge our kindred guilds
(There was once a way)
We have seen what it means to succeed
To fight our distorted reflections
And hide as our bonds and buildings fall to ruin

A superficial glance of reinforced semblance
Symbolic streaks engraved in ladders linking enemies

Now bereft of all sensations
I must convince you I'm insane
Now begging your beliefs to change
I must confess that I am insane

Believe me, I am insane
Believe me, it pains
No longer a display
No more
