Turning over and over
Whispering what is true
A melody from me
Because I love you

Hidden deep within
Looking out at her
But I am nothing
A fiend, cur

I have my music
That might drift
To her heavenly ears
A demon's gift

This mask, it hides
My heart in fear
Don't look
Don't come near

A masquerade in solitude
Breathing in the night
Please come away
Away from unsavory light

The subtle loathing
My scars I try to conceal
But it hurts so
Wasting away on false appeal

I thought she loved me
She sang for me
But it was wrong
Even a fool could see

She denied my love
And removed my mask
Revealing my abhorrent,
Cruel task

Dear Christine
You love another
I was there for you
One day you'll discover

Left alone to rot
With my disease, my face
Abandoned forever
In this dark place
