The Distortionist

[Intro]
Something doesn't quite line up...

Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I'm the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can't control the urge!
Nobody's gonna blame me for that

Impossible, impossible

[Verse 1]
Twist 'n turn it right around
The details never safe or sound
The truth projected through a lens
With nothing proving otherwise
Now take the time to realize
Despite what you believe
The victim of a massacre
Was none other than poor me

[Pre-Chorus]
Surely you can see the problem
I don't wanna lose my own reflection
A deplorable perception of me
Was none other than an image of you
One, two, three, break

[Chorus]
You're making a wreck of broken glass
And leaving me a fuckin' mess
Bending light in a way that shows
Exactly how the story goes
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now, who the hell would've ever guessed?
Play my game and abide my ways
There's no way you can compensate

[Bridge 1]
A monster, monster, monster, monster
Now run away, run away, run away
I'm a monster, monster, monster, monster
Now run away, run away, run away
Now you're the monster!
A glimmer of betrayal changes my mind
The odds against your favor
Forever

[Verse 2]
Ignorant atrocities and colorless apologies
This isn't what it looks to be
I'm not as cruel as you see me
Take the time to realize
Despite what you may see
The mirrors cracked themselves
And I was cut on the broken shards
And how I bled...

[Chorus]
Stuck in a spotlight brighter than
The smile no one ever saw
Bending light in a way that shows
The truth that left our friends in awe
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now, who the hell would've ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There's no way you can compensate

[Bridge 2]
Madness, it's madness
Oh, it's sickening, it's sickening
You know, it's unfair, it's unfair
How you distorted my reflection
In all this madness
It's madness
Oh, it's sickening, it's sickening
You know, it's unfair, it's unfair
How you distorted my reflection
You know it's too late

[Reversed Chorus]
Seog yrots eht woh yltcaxe
Swohs taht yaw a ni thgil gnidneb
Ssem 'nikcuf a em gnivael dna
Ssalg nekorb fo kcerw a gnikam er'uoy

Seog yrots eht woh yltcaxe
Swohs taht yaw a ni thgil gnidneb
Ssem 'nikcuf a em gnivael dna
Ssalg nekorb fo kcerw a gnikam er'uoy

[Chorus]
You're lost in a world of funhouse mirrors
Twisted for eternity
Bending light in a way that shows
Refraction of hipocricy
Whimsical, dear, your lies are clear
Now, who the hell would've ever guessed?
Play my games and abide my ways
There's no way you can compensate

[Outro]
One, two, three, break

Tears laced with cyanide flow through the cracks of a
Mirror shattered long ago
And, sure, I'm the one who swung the metal bat
But, hey, I can't control the urge!
Nobody's gonna blame me for that
