Catharsis lyrics

There are times when i feel That everything is slipping from my hands There are times when i want to fall asleep To avoid the threat of time So i ran away, i sought refuge in a different world Floating in hedonism, trying to write my name in water I mixed mercury and sulphur Sanctifying my own blood When a simple stare can hurt you more Than a knife stabbed in your heart Then you're ready to sacrifice everything you have To chase a ghost I was lost in eden Longing for rebirth Reality can strike and crush all of these phantoms I had to wake up, like nothing happened But i won't let this foul fiend take possess of me again I'll keep on dreaming in my house of mirrors
