Gaslighting is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
lyrics
Gaslighter
The lies. The deceit.
It’s all necessary to maintain your illusion.
The mirage of your reality.
Like seeing thru deep smoke.
I stagger. I stumble. I fall. All the while.
Believing …..(you’ll catch me when I fall)
<chorus>
You had me believing. - Gaslighter
Always the charmer. -Gaslighter!
So deceiving. - Gaslighter!
You had me convinced...
For you, reality is too much to stomach.
So you make it up as you go.
Dishonesty lacerates, eviscerates,
eliminates the sanity that was my life.
