LAZARUS BLACKSTAR LYRICS
"The 7"" (2006 EP)
1. Make-Believe Master
2. The Anaesthetic Stopped Me Screaming
1. Make-Believe Master
Come kneel before me
Come sit beside me
You walk the path I have chosen
I'm your Jesus, only better
I am here to save you
I am here to restrain you
Turn away from your weak former lives
Now and only now will you follow
Life can never be the same again
I am your make-believe master
It's a path that I know so well
Hang me up on your cross
I wear the crown of thorns
I wear the bloodstained robe
The evidence is clear
That I came from a higher power
I clench the hands of fools
Their life by my rules
Shallow-you will follow and pray
You will even die when I say
Life can never be the same again
I am your make-believe master
It's a path that I know so well
Hang me up on your cross
My heaven, is a vision
A vision of what I can create
My children, touch my hand
And you're saved
Take a look at yourselves, my submissives
I want you all to look up to me
Take a look at yourselves, my submissives
Look at the lives that I have stolen
I'll keep you safe from harm
We can bathe in each others arms
We can pray till the end of time
I am now your master for life
I am now your shining light
I am God in your feeble minds
Take my hand and come follow me
2. The Anaesthetic Stopped Me Screaming
The mirror doesn't tell a lie
I glance, then I walk away
These lines are deeper
The face is older
And the scars that are left behind
I've spent a lifetime waiting
And hiding from the outside world
I put my trust in you, and you abused it
It all went wrong, it all went wrong
I am the victim that you can laugh at
I hide myself away
I am the freak to be stared at and spat at
I tried my best and I failed
The mirror doesn't tell a lie
I glance, and turn away again
The face I owned
Is now a carcass
An empty shell that I carry around
No self-confidence, just misery
I have been scarred for my vanity
I put my faith in it, look what I'm left with
The doctors laughing, the doctors laughing
I am the victim that you can laugh at
Pathetic being that hides in a mask
I am the freak to be stared at and spat at
I tried my best and I failed
I awoke during surgery
I witnessed what they had done to me
I saw those eyes peer through surgical masks
I felt the blade, I heard the laughs
At what price was my vanity?
I am a shell of who I used to be
I was awake, I was awake
But the anaesthetic stopped me screaming
I felt the blade, I felt the blade
But anaesthetic stopped me screaming
