Souls for Sale

Silken shadows, whispered secrets in the night

Carrying the burden, hiding from the light

I wear a smile, a facade so true

Caring hands, but inside I feel so blue

Beautiful strangers, they come and go

Offering their pieces, their most hidden shadows

They know the game, but they still play along

Falling deeper, knowing all along

This dance of darkness, a deadly art

Trading their souls, tearing them apart

I'm the one they call, the collector of dreams

The light in their eyes, unraveling seams

I'm the greatest when I love, the worst when I lie

In their eyes, I see my own demise

Only eyes, I use to captivate

Gazing deep, sealing their fate

I'm the star, the queen of this game

Yet I feel the blame beneath my name

They know the game, but they still play along

Falling deeper, knowing all along

This dance of darkness, a deadly art

Trading their souls, tearing them apart

I'm the one they call, the collector of dreams

The light in their eyes, unraveling seams

I'm the greatest when I love, the worst when I lie

In their eyes, I see my own demise

Moments of brilliance, moments of shame

Lost in the power, cursed by the fame

But there's a part of me that longs to be free

From this shadow, this ghost of me

So here I stand, at the edge of night

Holding their shadows, hiding the fight

The most loved, the most despised

Inside this darkness, I’ve compromised
