So many fears
Ripping me apart
Voices in my head
Driving me insane
Pain
Hitting me like rain
Keep it inside
Smile at distant faces
No-one comes near
Only fear
Isolation
No Emotion
Mask your true identity
Bluff your way through
All you see is red
Like blood
No-one cares
No-one dares
Struggle, struggle without end
Slowly die, drain away
Only empty shell remains
Blown easily on the wind
What a mess
Early death
No-one holds funeral
Who’ll mourn
Fear torn
Wreck that you are
Silent strain
Silent pain
Insanity within insanity
Madness out of bounds
Drive dies
So do I
No caress
No rest
Say goodbye to the outside world
Say goodbye to tomorrow
Only yesterday
Yesterday never leaves
Say goodbye
Hello pain
Confusion, confusion, confusion
Mix up in time
Future, Present, Past
Cannot last
Death comes fast
Oh to cease breathing
