Satan sleeps inside my brain
And when he wakes he takes me far away
He takes me to this place that I completely hate
Where I'm a prisoner of my own body

I just can't escape, I'm just a rat in a maze
And he sleeps less and less with the days coming
So I beg and beg, crawling on my knees
"Depart from me,"
But he won't

The ocean isn't any louder while the city sleeps
We just aren't there to wash it out when we're occupied with dreams
A good friend once told me that "darkness only
Confirms what we cannot see."
Well I sunk underground and I'm laughing now
Because I finally understand what it means
I understand

This is me, this is my disease
So take your mud and water and please let me see
I don't know what I believe but if you really Loved me
You'd set me free

I need to know I can but when I let my head fall
I see I'm walking on nothing but clay
I need to leave you behind, conduct a cut and run
Just like my father before me
You little serpent, little cancer
Little poison, little death
You are my worst at its best
You are a dirty dog in this field of flowers
What's a thief to do with nothing left to steal?

There's a war inside my head
A brilliant display of Death
Even with the chemicals gone, there's still blood
Everywhere

A friend says "send yourself back home, and heal
Your deepest wounds. And if the scars they leave can't be
Ignored, remember none of this is real."

What a simple solution to prescribe when you aren't haunted
Like a house. You could perch the universe atop my shoulders
And it wouldn't even cast a shadow now

I've got a mountain to move
