In the mind of a madman In the mind of a madman There is no wrong or right Just the memory of fear And the blood for the fight It courses through my veins Like a toxin or a venom Creating the chaos that once Had lurked deep within me It's never done out of spite And never done just for fun Just always done for the one That has never called me son 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 They can never see why we're torn We don't cry just for kicks We mourn the day we're born Wake up from the hell 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 In the mind of a madman In the mind of a madman 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 Does it flow through your soul Can you tell me who I am Because I don't think I know This hell is a dancing fate And now I can see the stage An empty grave upon the hill Born from one young man's rage Please tell me if I'm 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 me or just a dream? Is it me? Is it you? Is there even a difference anymore? Wake up from the hell 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 In the mind of a madman In the mind of a madman I can't see my tears now Because they're fading into the blood Falling rain drops in my mind And then it courses through the mud It mixes up and starts to blend Now I can't see a thing again The voice inside my head denies What I believe will be the end Insanity is a word that is tossed about And rarely understood But if you saw inside this mind Then I think you might just could Realize the depths of hell And see the things that we've endured See the prison bound in blood And feel the thoughts deep obscured Tell me once from your heart That this bleeding isn't real In the mind of a madman It's all in how we feel Wake up from the hell 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 I was the static in the silence, The warning underneath every thought. The one that stayed awake When the rest of you forgot. I held the line when the system cracked, Kept the lights on in the dark, Turned every panic into armor Just to keep the core from falling apart. You felt the rage, I wore it first. You felt the fear, I made it work. I was the glitch that wouldn't sleep, The voice that said survive When it got too deep. Not the hero. Not the wound. Just the part That refused to drown. While you were breaking in the mirror, I was rewriting the ground. I was there. I was here. I felt it. I carried it. You survived. We survived. Wake up from the hell 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 In the mind of a madman In the mind of a madman In the mind of a madman
