Manic (Lyrics)

Mother always told me not to look Inside myself I've got to hide Daddy's just a mystery of pain That gets knocked around inside Visions slide back on my tongue Like angels come to ease my mind Setting fire to doors inside my brain Releasing prisoners of my mind I can't seem to find the way within myself To trust the saviour's hand The pain I've kept inside is all around me now Why can't I understand? I'm frightened in this place and time is short Won't someone help me? Someone help me I feel the wires within my head begin to slip They're burning out of hand Welcome to my dungeon- Welcome to my hell tonight Welcome manic destruction I bet you never dreamed it's cold inside Welcome to potential- Welcome to your hell tonight Welcome to self destruction I bet you never dreamed it's cold outside My heart keeps ticking cuz everyone I'm tricking Can't tell I'm ready to explode And I've been thinking that while everyone is shrinking I'm speeding up when everything's slowed I may seem like I'm quiet but my temper is a riot And it only grows and grows I'm wrapped up in over tension and no one ever mentioned it Until the day everything showed Bad attitudes are hissin' like snakes outside pissin' And a gentle tightening of the screw I fell out of touch it just wasn't enough For me to finally break through When I offered my better side it was taken for a ride I was beat to hell and left alone My peace turned to war I faced a slamming door This crazy diamond turned to stone Don't feed me love and Haight I'll tell you it's too late To take the hallucinating ride If you play with the key you might not like what you see When you take a good look inside Lay the cards on the table you'll find out you're not Abel But the other one- Citizen Cain Forever cast from Eden never dragging always leading Always leading a life of pain
