Cut, dissected from within

Like clockwork run the cells

An unearthly silent din

A constant toll of bells

Mocking laughter evermore

No sight of a refrain

Waiting on my lonely quest

Asylum of the brain

Brain



The darkest caverns of my mind

Hold terrors so consuming

Look within and soon you'll find

Your psyche I'm subsuming

More than flesh and blood can bear

Ensnared within my brain

Eyes in fear, eyes in terror

Adversity is pain

Adversity is pain



Pain...



Within the faculty of fools

Leering warders, intimidation

Playing games at all my rules

Is feeding their frustration



The blood inside my temples pulsing

While I'm locked away

Thoughts within my head convulsing

For the time my captors pay

Stop the torment, cut me loose

Unbind me from my chains

Before my eyes a veil of mist

Encompassing and grey



Once again

Momentarily free of pain

Pain...

Pain...

Pain...



Stop the pain and rip me open

Tear out my tormentors

Release me from agony

Blinding my nerve centres

Only known emotions

Are the anger and the sadness

Overshadowed totally by

Unrevokable madness



Held inside this sterile box

My thoughts turn now to charnel

Fantasise, yet I remain

Still locked inside eternal

I'll not escape but I will wait

Patience will run true

Visitation you will see

This madness is in you
