figure out or improvise yourself.

-Structure-

[Rhy Fig 1 (1x)]
[Rhy Fig 2 (2x) & Fig 1 (1x)]
[Rhy Fig 3 (4x)]
Trough the searching lights that weave and dart 
Comes the stranger that cares not for your heart 
The pain of living life this way 
Must take its toll on you some day 

[Rhy Fig 2 (4x) & Fig 1 (2x)]
Your jaded eyes can see 
Embarrassment or harm
The frail skin that bleeds 
Emotionally on guard 
All lowest forms of life 
Are pounding you inside 
Your hollow cold display 
Your tired masquerade 

[Rhy Fig 3 (4x)]
Let the image that you present entice 
Unlike the mirror that shows the strains of vice 
This act of contact your decay 
While willing souls will more that pay. 

[Rhy Fig 2 (4x) & Fig 1 (2x)]
Your jaded eyes can see 
Embarrassment or harm
The frail skin that bleeds 
Emotionally on guard 
All lowest forms of life 
Are pounding you inside 
Your hollow cold display 
Your tired masquerade 
[Rhy Fig 3 (Until End)]
