Do you see what I see?Truth is an offenceYour silence for your confidenceDo you hear what I hear?Doors are slamming shutLimit your imagination, keep you where they mustDo you feel what I feel?Bittering distressWho decides what you express?Do you take what I take?Endurance is the wordMoving back instead of forward seems to me absurd
Doesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's done just how I say
Independence limitedFreedom of choice is made for you my friendFreedom of speech is words that they will bendFreedom with their exception
Do you fear what I fear?Living properlyTruths to you are lies to meDo you choose what I choose?More alternativesEnergy derives from both the plus and negativeDo you need what I need?Boundaries overthrownLook inside, to each his ownDo you trust what I trust?Me, myself, and IPenetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie
Doesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's done just how I say
Independence limitedFreedom of choice is made for you my friendFreedom of speech is words that they will bendFreedom with their exception
Do you know what I know?Your money and your wealthYou silence just to hear yourselfDo you want what I want?Desire not a thingI hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring
Doesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's done just how I say
Independence limitedFreedom of choice is made for you my friendFreedom of speech is words that they will bendFreedom no longer frees you
Doesn't matter what you seeOr into it what you readYou can do it your own wayIf it's done just how I say

I can't remember anythingCan't tell if this is true or dreamDeep down inside I feel the screamThis terrible silence stops with me
Now that the war is through with meI'm waking up, I cannot seeThat there's not much left of meNothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for deathOh please God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too realIn pumps life that I must feelBut can't look forward to revealLook to the time when I'll liveFed through the tube that sticks in meJust like a wartime noveltyTied to machines that make me beCut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for deathOh please God, wake me
Now the world is gone I'm just oneOh God help meHold my breath as I wish for deathOh please God, help me
DarknessImprisoning meAll that I seeAbsolute horrorI cannot liveI cannot dieTrapped in myselfBody my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sightTaken my speechTaken my hearingTaken my armsTaken my legsTaken my soulLeft me with life in hell

My life suffocates Planting the seeds of hate I've loved, turned to hate Trapped far beyond my fate
I give You take This life that I forsake Been cheated of my youth You turned this lie to truth
Anger Misery You'll suffer unto me Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow
Pure black looking clear My work is done soon here Try getting back to me Get back what used to be
Drink up Shoot in Let the beatings begin Distributor of pain Your loss becomes my gain
Anger Misery You'll suffer unto me Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow
All have said their prayers Invade their nightmares To see into my eyes You'll find where murder lies Infanticide
Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad Harvester of sorrow

Never hunger Never prosper I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within Triggered again Now the candle burns at both ends
Twisting under schizophrenia Falling deep into dementia
Old habits reappear Fighting the fear of fear Growing conspiracy Everyone's after me Frayed ends of sanity Hear them calling Hear them calling me
Birth of terror Death of much more I'm the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings Spreading its wings As I wait for the horror she brings
Loss of interest, question, wonder Waves of fear they pull me under
Old habits reappear Fighting the fear of fear Growing conspiracy Everyone's after me Frayed ends of sanity Hear them calling Hear them calling me
Into ruin I am sinking Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free Flooded I'll be Feel the undertow inside me
Height, Hell, Time, Haste, Terror, Tension Life, Death, Want, Waste, Mass Depression
Old habits reappear Fighting the fear of fear Growing conspiracy Myself is after me Frayed ends of sanity Hear them calling Frayed ends of sanity Hear them calling Hear them calling me

When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take me home?
