In the mind of a madman (In the mind—) In the mind of a madman Mm. Yeah. In the mind of a madman There is no wrong or right (No wrong or right—) Just the memory of fear And the need to survive It courses through his veins Like a toxin or a venom Creating the chaos that once Had lurked deep within him (Deep within him—) You could see a pity case Or you could see a born leader But if you look deep inside You might just find your worst fears Nobody understands anymore (No, they don't—) They can never see why he's torn He doesn't cry just for kicks He just mourns the day he's born Wake up from the hell (Wake up—) That you have been dealt It's time you realized Just what the hell you felt (What you felt—) There is no fear in life That can't be overcome Hatred dwelling deep inside For what you have become (What have you become?) In the mind of a madman (In the mind—) In the mind of a madman Yeah. Take a look at your life And then you tell me what you see Is it filled with dreams and hopes Or swallowed by misery Can you feel the pain at last (Feel it now—) Does it flow through your soul Can you tell me who I am Because I don't think I know (I don't know.) This hell is a dancing fate And now I can see the stage An empty grave upon the hill Dug from years of buried rage Please tell me if I'm still alive (Am I still alive?) Or has the blood lust passed This demon deep inside of me Comes from a shattered past He crawls into my dreams And shows me glimpses yet to be But is the man in the grave I see Really him or just a dream (Just a dream—) Wake up from the hell (Wake up—) That you have been dealt It's time you realized Just what the hell you felt There is no fear in life That can't be overcome Hatred dwelling deep inside For what you have become (What have I become?) I've spent so long behaving Like I know which way is up Keeping every door half-open Keeping every mouth shut But something in me keeps on moving Even when I stand my ground I can hold it for a minute I can't hold it all the way down (Hold it down—) So let it come a little closer Let it breathe against my skin I've been fighting it for so damn long I don't know where I end Maybe madness isn't shouting Maybe it just settles in If he's been living in my head— Let him under my skin. Let it out— let it out— I've been holding back so long I barely know what I was holding on to In the mind of a madman Maybe this is where I belong. (Where I belong—) Madman—! Wake up from the hell (Wake up!) That you have been dealt It's time you realized Just what the hell you felt (Yeah—!) There is no fear in life That can't be overcome Hatred dwelling deep inside For what you have become What have I become?! (What have I become—!) Madman—! In the mind of a madman (In the mind—) In the mind of a madman
