Sleeping everyday from dawn til dusk
can't break this pattern
My patience grows short and brusque
Emptiness lasting so long as a tusk
I used to shine
But now I'm worn to rust
Could this be the reason
I freaked out
And thought I'd be arrested for treason
Fate or free will
In the garden of Eden
Hail freedom and tis the season
That karma bites me in the ass
And enemies get even

Should've never listened to that voice
"eat the fruit" and you'll have something to rejoice
All the knowledge in the world, not a bad choice
But it was a trick to see the fall of man
Think of what led you here
And you'll see how it began
Faith will make you think it's all part of his plan
While temptation leads your mind to a darker land
The choices lead the way
To the path you take in this lifespan

(Past regrets and selfish requests
Are things you'll never get over
If you stay obsessed
just cause you're good now
Doesn’t mean you'll be blessed
Keep that black heart pumping
it'll fail in cardiac arrest)x4

Let's go back to the start
Before body parts started twitching
Thought I was a victim of betrayal
And someone's bewitching
My heart has bled for 13 years
Do you have the stitching
To end this once and for all
And keep my mind from tripping
Imagining things and people saying stuff
Keeps me on edge, I can't get enough
Seeing specs of color
when everything is fine
Are these spirits watching me
To make sure I stay in line

Everything's a joke til it happens to you
Struck down by a mental illness
Has me feeling so blue
lightning strikes a tree
A crazed fire burns
My sanity blows in the wind
Will it ever return
The only thing that comes back
Are these dreams that haunt and scare
They won't ever let me rest
In these demented nightmares
Not a big believer of religion
But I'll say a prayer
And wonder why this chose me
it isn't fuckin fair

Mentally sick
Or cursed by a vengeful spirit
Wants revenge from the past
And put it on exhibit
As long as they get even
Their reason is justified
Whether it's now, the future,
Or in the next life
Think of all the times
You made them cry
Now you want sympathy
For the tears you've shed on the inside
They’ll just laugh in your face
Til you feel their pain and they're satisfied

Dreams that won't let me sleep
They keep me up all night
And sometimes during the day
Just feeds their appetite
Day dreaming
You would think I work the graveyard shift
No job for me
Just go with the flow as I drift
wonder if these dreams are a curse or a gift
They probably come from that witch named Blair
She'll get you with her glare, when you're unaware
As you wander to her neck of the woods
And you never come back, so beware

(The only thing that comes back
Are these dreams that haunt and scare
They won't ever let me rest
In these demented nightmares)x4

One more time
From beginning to the end
Is it too late
To ask for a godsend
Time is running out
how much more can I take
They're getting the best of me
Will I ever awake
From this darkened state
To see another daybreak
The first light I've seen in years
And won't be the last
I'll put this experience in the rear
And learn from the past
See it in the rearview
As I slam on the gas
