Plague

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
