Chains shackle me
|
With truth I'm face to face
|
Backed up in between
|
A damp cage I remain
|
In the cell of numb despair
|
The chill engulfs my veins
|
There's only one notion that I revere
|
The only truth in life is pain
|
|
It levels and crushes at its free will
|
My doomed fate will soon be sealed
|
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Preys behind my eyes
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Now I realize
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Though I'll not break free
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Truth eternally
|
|
Beyond my grasp is a life
|
That I will never attain
|
Happiness, joy, not in sight
|
Supplanted by truth's dark reign
|
Physical, mental agony shows
|
Along which my life revolves
|
Either you feel it, or you don't
|
There are never lies involved
|
|
Clutching to my abnormality
|
Hand in hand with destiny
|
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Preys behind my eyes
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Now I realize
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Though I'll not break free
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Truth eternally
|
|
When you are pumping full of life
|
The one sensation that you have
|
Can penetrate through love or hate
|
Existence on a higher plane
|
In death and life, both the domains
|
Surrender totally to pain
|
|
I slip and claw and scream
|
It calls
|
Leave me alone with me
|
It yearns
|
I'm bleeding from my brain
|
It needs me
|
I'm helpless, trapped behind
|
Its walls
|
Tearing apart my mind
|
It burns
|
Upon my naked soul
|
It feeds
|
|
Streams of consciousness fill the page
|
As my nerve endings scream in rage
|
Deliver me to the darkest age
|
As DeSade sits at center stage
|
|
My flesh is but a portal now
|
To wisdom and truth I am avowed
|
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
|
Twisting through the door
|
Am I nevermore?
|
My breath I can feel
|
Therefore I am real
|
|
I've succumbed to there heinous sins
|
And I'll never be forgiven
|
Shackled and bound, my new life I've found
|
And I've tasted the fruits forbidden
|
|
I've craving more
|
Of pain's overtures
|
Liberation is near
|
And I have nothing to fear
|
|
In this journey of self-discovery
|
I have found the keys to be set free
|
In this wicked course, I've uncovered the force
|
That will keep me vital eternally
|
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
The force that preys behind my eyes
|
Pain's invention, madness upon me
|
Pain's invention, madness
|
It takes this long to realize
|
Pain's invention, madness, has set me free
|
|
Transcendency
|
Of mere mortality
|
Tortured infliction
|
Is now my addiction
|
Constant agony
|
Has created me
|
I am suffering
|
Through this atrocity
|
|
I'm not blind to what I might find
|
Squirming way down deep inside my labyrinthine mind
|
Inhibitions removed, replaced with scar tissue
|
And I'm punished with blades of my lobotomizing suit
|
|
I've sought this dream
|
In its violent extreme
|
Now my pleasure is clear
|
Though the lesson's severee
|
|
My will is strong, but I could be wrong
|
This new doctrine for which I've been searching all along is
|
The religion of truth through administration of pain
|
The body only takes so much before it drives the mind insane
|
|
As a matter of fact, my friend
|
I've come to my bitter end
|
It's not a torture rack I'm in
|
Though I can still pretend
|
It's a jacket of white with buckles and straps
|
Not a pleasure device at all
|
It keeps me safely under wraps
|
While I'm chained to this padded wall
|
|
hear my cries...
|
you'll never know
|
