Chords
[Intro]
B5Dead lives rive
From my human hide
[Verse 1]
When the cult had come for me
I could have got but didn't
I couldn't be one any longer
Had it been a day or a year inside this skin?
Faces captured centuries hold
I became a kind of hunter
Eating pelts of pleading meat toappearance
Taking their with will alone
Alive and crawling out me
Shed you foreign poison peltry
Take rind you want
[Bridge]
B5 Seen to be wicked
Despite tempts to hide my live birth mark
Dark demon
I'd taken back with me 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
[Break]
B5 Stealing identities from every skin it sees
Growing with urgency
[Verse 2]
B5When he tried to cut it off
Many a time
To no avail
It would manic features
Laughing at him as he tried to hack them off his son
Knowing that he 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
Heading out into the woods
I promised I would never come back
I thank the dead that she knows not what I have become
[Bridge]
B5 Taking over adolescent tendencies
To feed hunt 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 D#5 G#5
[Solo 1]
G#5 I am the Involuntary DoppelganD#5ger
[Solo 2]
I can not stop it, my skin is alive
[Verse 3]
D5All of the time I've spent inside it
I never thought it could be calling out to any other
Involuntary Doppelganger
Had it grown bored of it's feed?
Or gained knowledge with time?
Whatever the change had been
I felt it emanating information
[Verse 4]
G#5 Had it tried to send a beacon
Warning them to stay away?
I heard the voices calling back
Involuntary Doppelgangerr
Had it tried to send a beacon
Warning them to stay away?
I heard the voices calling back
Involuntary Doppelgangerr E5
[Bridge]
A5One last face it had to acquire
Before it's caught
G#5Menace cloak found her
Still alive and skinning bodies of her own A5 G#5
[Interlude]
A5 E5 D#5 A5
C5 G#5 A5 E5
D#5 A5 C5 G#5
[Verse 5]
B5It appeared she had done the same as I
For all this time, to see her son again
And there I stood
The cloak of others made her impossible to recognize
She carved me like any other martyr our curse
When the cult had breached our cabin
Taking me to be a random victim of the doppelganger
Heading out into the woods
I promised I would never come back
I thank the dead that she knows not what I have become
[Outro]
B5 Taking over adolescent tendencies
To feed
To hunt
To kill
To change
Decades take me deep into the curses endless undertow
Tongue speaks in a cadence that only A.U.M. can decipher
Void of bidding heading out a very inner wreathing
Of a demon with intent to animate and be gone
