Текст песни
Dead lives rive from my human hide
When the cult had come for me, I could have got away, but didn't
I couldn't be the one to cause this any longer
Had it been a day or a year inside this skin?
I could not tell, the faces I had captured over centuries took hold
I became a kind of hunter, eating pelts of pleading meat to acquire their appearance
Taking their form with will alone, alive and crawling out of me to catch it's prey
Shed you foreign poison peltry, take the rind you want
Seen to be a wicked omen, despite attempts to hide my live birth mark
Crown of a dark demon tar I'd taken back with me from the other side
There is no god, for if there was, then how'd this evil take me?
It seeped and crawled it's way along my face as mother wept
Stealing identities from every skin it sees, growing with urgency
When he tried to cut it off, many a time to no avail
It would take my livid father's manic features
Laughing at him as he tried to hack them off his son
Knowing that he could not end my life, he took his own
Mother mourned the death of him, and knew that many more would follow, if I didn't leave right then
Heading out into the woods, I promised I would never come back
I thank the dead that she knows not what I have become
Taking over adolescent tendencies to feed, to hunt, to kill, to change
Decades take me deep into the curses endless undertow
There is no time or end behind this epidermal prison
My thread of youth imprisoned, tortured by immortal victims
I am the Involuntary Doppelgänger
I can not stop it, my skin is alive!
All of the time I've spent inside it
I never thought it could be calling out to any other Involuntary Doppelgänger
Had it grown bored of it's feed? Or gained knowledge with time?
Whatever the change had been, I felt it emanating information
Had it tried to send a beacon, warning them to stay away?
I heard the voices calling back "Involuntary Doppelgänger"
Had it tried to send a beacon, warning them to stay away?
I heard the voices calling back "Involuntary Doppelgänger"
