Crown

If eyes are the mirror of the soul
 You will find in mine the scorn and apathy
 You will read my hatred as in a cursed book
 You will see yourself as I see you
 It is a mirror sombre and opaque
 Which protects me, which stifles me
 A great ditch around the heart
 Which rejects, which estranges me
 ♪
 There is a world in my head
 A dead world where nothing lives
 ♪
 And it is there I am, too far,
 Far too far to be rejoined
 A crown of thorns is still a crown
 I am a king in a kingdom of suffering
 I have taken my time to reach this stage
 ♪
 I have taken pains to torture myself
 To descend, to descend
 Into pain, I exist
 And if my brain is numbed
 The thorn in my flesh
 Can overcome apathy
 ♪
 There is glory in humiliation
 A throne to be taken, a crown to win
 I have no more tears,
 And my smile has lost its brilliance
 I have forgotten who I was,
 I have killed my emotions
 Crushed, empty, weary,
 Always standing, I am a tree
 Awaiting the lightning
