Contradictions Collapse
Your words such unessential lies 
Refract my barred up eyes 
You all tell me I'm confined 
in my "shell of hallucinations" 
So try and make me realise 
Break my secure enclosure 
Just try and I know you'll make me laugh 
To hell with your damn comprehension 


You belabour me for past and present mishaps 
as if I had the might of alteration 
You've had your trips into my brain, I know you begrudge 
Now let me leave for my amenity 


So you see, you whitecoated freak 
I don't need your allegations 
Instead join me to sanity's end 
with my sweet needle of salvation 


Increasing needs 
OF MY ONLY FRIEND 
The one I trust 
He runs in my veins 
HIDES ME AWAY 
Under his soothing crust 


MADNESS REIGNS 
You're no longer in charge of my alluring illusions 
that takes me wherever I want, my 
MALNUTRIATED MALICE 
rises strong and makes me the ruler of 
EARTH, WIND AND FIRE 
as reality fades, I'm a king on clouds 
The selfpity no longer runs in my veins I'm a 
MALEVOLENT REVELATION please let me stay, 
GIVE ME MORE 


LEFT OUT, Dragged down into emptyness 
Drowning in floods of misunderstanding 
WHY do you all look aside, 
You're ripping my dignity AWAY 
Inside identity is leaking out 
REALIZATION is catching up on me 
My needs bashes false immortality 
into my affected being...chaos 


Cravings of delight 
slowly eats my soul 
Trapped within myself 
Defraying my own lies 
Bewalling my demise 
Deep penury...internally 


I feel marred by errors, can't you see 
my desires are calling for me 
The sovereign of abnegations, 


swings his feelers for a new relation 
Come, mesmerize my oppressive mind 
Tear apart these vehement cravings 
Give me something to live for, bring me back 
from my purgatory of obsessions 


Increasing needs 
OF MY ONLY FRIEND 
The one I trust 
He runs in my veins 
HIDES ME AWAY 
Under his soothing crust
