Chains shackle me

With truth I'm face to face

Backed up in between

A damp cage I remain

In the cell of numb despair

The chill engulfs my veins

There's only one notion that I revere

The only truth in life is pain



It levels and crushes at its free will

My doomed fate will soon be sealed



Pain's invention, madness

Preys behind my eyes

Pain's invention, madness

Now I realize

Pain's invention, madness

Though I'll not break free

Pain's invention, madness

Truth eternally



Beyond my grasp is a life

That I will never attain

Happiness, joy, not in sight

Supplanted by truth's dark reign

Physical, mental agony shows

Along which my life revolves

Either you feel it, or you don't

There are never lies involved



Clutching to my abnormality

Hand in hand with destiny



Pain's invention, madness

Preys behind my eyes

Pain's invention, madness

Now I realize

Pain's invention, madness

Though I'll not break free

Pain's invention, madness

Truth eternally



When you are pumping full of life

The one sensation that you have

Can penetrate through love or hate

Existence on a higher plane

In death and life, both the domains

Surrender totally to pain



I slip and claw and scream

It calls

Leave me alone with me

It yearns

I'm bleeding from my brain

It needs me

I'm helpless, trapped behind

Its walls

Tearing apart my mind

It burns

Upon my naked soul

It feeds



Streams of consciousness fill the page

As my nerve endings scream in rage

Deliver me to the darkest age

As DeSade sits at center stage



My fle
