R.U. Dead? - When Your Heart Turns Black

I am the sickness that eats up your soul
I creep in the back of your mind
I am your shadow, your eyes in the mirror
and your face it looks just like mine

Mine is not love - nor is it hate
I am the emptiness that you create

and I am present
when the heart turns black
and I will smile
when your heart turns black

I know where you are going
even when you're not so sure
I have my own intentions
and I don't even care for yours

Call me "the snake", name me "the tempter"
Your labels are just untrue
I am your heart, I am your mind
I'm just the essence of you

My joy's not lust - nor is it pain
I am the nothingness that will drive you insane
