lyrics

So Like Dorian

I've seen through your mask
Your mask of deceit
I've seen behind your eyes
So blue but so cold
I've seen into your soul
And I know it's been sold

I've heard all your lies
Your boring tall tales
I've tasted your tongue
Like a worm from the grave
Had you inside me
Then like a rock beside me

A Dorian Grey
Like a mask at a ball
Like a lying government
You're no good at all

* Poor Paul, your friends say
As you twist and use them
Poor Paul they say
As you still abuse them

And every one loves you
And thinks you're so sweet
With your sorrowful face
And turned out feet

(* Repeat )
(** Repeat 2 times )
