Lyrics

familiar faces all around
but i'm a faceless spectre
they are looking for a man
but i killed him and took his skin
it doesn't quite fit my frame,
but now they're hunting an imposter
"i'm new to this town,
and i have never seen this man!"

lie through my teeth, plastic surgery
can't rid myself of this face
and maybe i'm just a psycho, but
i'm living for the chase!

master of disguises
tuck away a knife, i
might as well join the hunt!
if i spot you first, you
cant do the worst, you've
fucking ever done!
'cause for all of your games
you're not a predator, just prey
and i'm tired of being on the run
now the roles are reversed,
my paranoia's worse
so i might as well have some fun!

run, run
as fast as you can
you can't catch someone
who doesn't exist!
hide, hide
seal your fate
know that you'll never
catch onto the twist!
cry, cry
the funeral's over
bury the corpse
you thought was your son
knock, knock
who's at the door?
did you know our game
has only just begun?

gritting my teeth, breaking both your knees
while you cower and you pray
and maybe i'm just a psycho, but
WILL YOU JUST SAY MY NAME?

i'm not in disguises
cleaning off the knife, you
know that you couldn't have won!
when i got to you first, you
know that this is worse than you've
fucking ever done!
'cause for all of your games
you're not a predator, just prey
and i'm tired of being on the run
now the roles are reversed,
my paranoia's worse
so i might as well have some fun!

You've got the paranoid ban to rights here. I often wonder about the game aspects, having good reason in the past for a moderate level of paranoia. How much the antagonists delight in it?
