Despised Icon - In the Arms of Perdition lyrics

Plunged in bitterness
Seduced by an ocean of discontent
Carrying an everlasting smile
With insouciance
Cultivating this disconnection with
Every single interaction

You won't lure me any further
I've been drinking too much shadow
And now maybe I shall blossom
This misconception of human loneliness
Must be disregarded

I will stare at life like I never did before
This game is useless and
Everything so deceptive
My ambitions may look low but so is the price
I cannot win
What's the meaning of this precious souvenir?
Suppress these feelings



Forget the man you were
Forget the man you were
Even if we both knew that
You'd rather be unloved and
Forget the man you were
Nameless than be fictively surrounded

Carrying an everlasting smile
With insouciance

I honestly know that demons will
Not hear me scream
And angels won't see me cry
Isolation is in the fact the
Only thing I require
No false promises await in my nightmares

Nothing, except my own predestined downfall
Look at this smile and think I'm
Cheerful like you always were
