Skin Puppet from Cringe by Nigel Tragedy

Skin Poppet

I could see the lie in your eyes.
I could feel distance in your touch.
I could see the false in your every move.
Still, I did nothing to protect myself.

I could taste the kiss of despair.
I could see the empty in your stare.
A tainted poppet with a rotted core
You tormented, AND I wanted more.
You did everything to pull the strings.

Refrain 1

There is no loss, when the moment isn’t real.
There is no loss when you’re tainted inside.

There are no regrets, when you feel so hollow.
There’s nothing left, when nothing was there.

There can be no pain, when the wound isn’t real.
You’ve become so common; you can’t begin to feel.
There are no regrets, on my damaged pride.
My soul intact, though my flesh is dirty.

V2
Though I tried to hate, but the fault was mine
I tried to reason, but again, the fault is mine
With every breath you display your intent
Still, I did nothing to protect myself.

I could taste the fake on your lips.
I could even feel the rot, in your fingertips.
How I ignored the wavering flags
Because I felt so dirty when you’d say my name

refrain 2

There is no loss, when the moment isn’t real.
There is no Love, when you’re tainted inside.

There is only pain when you’ve known betrayal.
There’s nothing left, when nothing was there.

There should be no pain, when the wound isn’t real.
You’ve become so common; you can’t begin to feel.
There are no regrets, on my damaged pride.
My soul intact, though my flesh is dirty.

<Br>

How could I feel loss, when you’re not even real?
There can be no trust when you’re tainted inside.
There are no regrets, though I felt so vulgar.
There’s nothing lost, as you’ve nothing to share.
There should be no pain, when the wound isn’t real.
Yet I felt so fallen, when the truth was revealed.
There is only hell, when your memory is a lie.
My soul intact, though you tried to hurt me.
