I can't remember the last time I had a sane thought
And neither can I recall my own voice-my throat is swollen and sore
I've been locked up in this cage for so long
To suffer for some unknown cause-forevermore
Demanted damnation of my mind and soul
I shall enjoy life, nevermore
Its empty-but I'm suffocating
As if I'm drowning in the nothingness
But how did this happen?
When did it come to this?
I can't remember-my mind is empty
Not long after-loneliness took over
Being tormented by this seclusion
I began to hear these voices
And in my mind-there played a horrid illusion
Whispers in my ear-they taunted
Screams in my head-they rang
But neither compared to the demons
As they began to sing
Their song of damnation-demented and hollow
Void of emotion their voices echoed
"You lay there on the floor
In a room painted white
There is no window-there is no door
And there is nothing you can do-to flee our spite
Time will not affect you
For time does not pass
Not in this room-not in your head
Your hope and your spirit-are as fragile as glass
You cannot see-you cannot smell
You cannot hear-you cannot feel
We will haunt you for eternity"
But is it all real?
Surrouned by the dead-or is it all in my head?
I can't escape-they say
I will remain forever-even after I'm dead
I screamed-go away!
They only laughed and continued their song
Then they took my mind-my thoughts
And painted pictures in my brain
Insanity I call them
The portraits only display blood-hatred-pain
Dementing all the same
Here I shall remain-physically unharmed
But tormented for all eternity
This torture goes on-but nobody can tell
It's all in my head-this insanity
These overwhelming, overbearing, undescribable thoughts
That swallow me into the void
This hollow nothingness
