Creative, joyous plunge

With torture substituted

And thoughts of foreign minds

Last strain of life polluted

This masochistic urge

To say and to be heard

And thoughts, the mind they urge

This pain is mine alone

Alone, I walk this earth

But voices, they surround me

The flame of my mind's hearth

Afflicted, though you can't see

Give in, to your demons

Forget now your fears

Let bursts of my laughter

Replace bitter tears

At ease with the warfare

Your war is not won

Survived but one battle

And now, I'll be gone

Alone, I walk this earth

But voices, they surround me

The flame of my mind's hearth

Afflicted, though you can't see

Awaken in cold sweat

Another's life I've lead

A deja vu of loss

A deja vu of pain
