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 in my own body
And I cannot escape, I'm just a rat in a maze
And he sleeps less and less with the days coming
So I just beg and beg, I'm 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
'Cause 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 (now, not) 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 d**h
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 d**h
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
I'll push the universe inside my shoulders
It wouldn't cast a shadow now
I got a mountain to move
