Dorian Gray Songtext
von Critical Mass

Furtive glances
Anxious to be a stranger
Buying what he knows he should ignore
Relief when it′s done
No one is the wiser
Lies to the heart
This time and no more

It's like that story of Dorian Gray
We hide a picture that gets more evil each day

We think that we can hide our secrets in the dark
But the saints and angels see us fail
Like rain down from heaven, their prayers like tears fall
If we run away, they can′t reach us at all


Exploited women
We pass it off as art
But garbage in gives nothing but garbage out
Washing in mud can never get you clean
Inside your heart
Is still that guilty doubt

It's like that story of Dorian Gray
We hide a picture that gets more evil each day

We think that we can hide our secrets in the dark
But the saints and angels see us fail
Like rain down from heaven, their prayers like tears fall
If we run away, they can't reach us at all

They say confession is good for the soul
Let Him cleanse you and make you whole
They say confession is good for the soul
Let Him cleanse you and make you whole

It′s like that story of Dorian Gray
We hide a picture that gets more evil each day

We think that we can hide our secrets in the dark
But the saints and angels see us fail
Like rain down from heaven, their prayers like tears fall
If we run away, they can′t reach us at all
