A daemon is dancing on the soul of this one
A fiery heart with a life so cold
Power bent inward and then shriveled away
Too long nurtured, a twisted fear takes hold
And therein lies an eternal curse

Walking through the night and day
Screaming through the black and grey
Can't find my way anymore
Self-imposed walls in my mind
Don't know what I leave behind
I cannot see what lies in store
Oh, no

Clarity of thought left me long before today
Nothing but mist where once it was stable
Blinded to reality, if it exists
To say what I mean, I am unable
My voice is stolen; I must be terse

There's no silence anywhere
I'm alone, it isn't fair
Blighted, undesirable
If they like me, I can't tell
Warmth I can't feel very well
So should I then resist their pull
Or not

Why do I always hear the same thing from them all
Do they think I'm happy in my limbo
Is it my fault, or theirs, or someone else's
It is such a burden to always know
But the alternative might be worse

Can't that thing just go away
What more could it have to say
That won't tear me into shreds
Let those who don't hear it sleep
Their minds it has yet to reap
It cannot get inside their heads
Not yet
