Searching my soul for some signs of life

Reaching beyond into another state of mind

In spite of myself, I cling to these strings

Pulling tight and expanding into new realities

Injecting within to place a mask upon my pain

Staring deep into the blackened eyes of death

The voice of my soul that I know so well

Crashing down and returning me to my living hell

Release my mind into a new dimension

Release my fears into altered perceptions

SCRATCH THE SURFACE

Time can never beat these wounds

SCRATCH THE SURFACE

Drawing the blood away

SCRATCH THE SURFACE

Emotions scarred for life

SCRATCH THE SURFACE

SCRATCH THE SURFACE

Isolating myself to crawl underneath my skin

Plunging deep into the depths of my despair

Foundations of life falling apart and closing in

Illusions embrace the taste of agony again

Wasting away in a ritual of disease

Echoes fading from the sounds of dying screams

The weight of my world collapse inside my head

Fall apart before my eyes and then drop down dead

Release my mind into a new dimension

Release my fears into altered perceptions Of life............
