Lyrics for Dead Skin Mask
"How I've waited for you to come I've been here all alone Now that you've arrived, please stay a while And I promise I won't keep you long I'll keep you forever" Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead cold flesh appease the means Provoking images, delicate features, so smooth A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon Dance with the dead in my dreams Listen to their hollowed screams The dead have taken my soul Temptation's lost all control Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control, rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants In the depths of a mind insane Fantasy and reality are the same Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means Incised members, ornaments on my being Adulating the skin before me Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control, rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants Dance with the dead in my dreams (Hello? Hello, Mr. Gein?) Listen to their hollowed screams (Mr. Gein?) The dead have taken my soul (Let me outta here, Mr. Gein) Temptation's lost all control (Mr. Gein? I don't wanna play anymore Mr. Gein) Dance with the dead in my dreams (Mr. Gein, this isn't fun anymore) Listen to their hollowed screams (I don't wanna play anymore Mr. Gein) The dead have taken my soul (Mr. Gein? I want out of here, Mr. Gein!) Temptation's lost all control (Let me out now!)
