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
