Analysis of The Madness Within
Ever-present darkness swirling all around
Memories decaying like rotting corpses on the ground
Being pillaged by centipedes and worms
Crawling in my mind, they've been buried for so long
Voices echoing inside my head, confusion's my companion
Nightmares are brought to life before my eyes
Awakening me with terrifying screams
Something deep inside, pulling me under, keeping it hid
There is no end, there is no escape
From the Madness within that enraptures my mind
The Madness within that captivates my soul
Pain against my flesh for I must feel punishment
I cry out for release, I cry out for salvation
What is it that causes me so much pain and torment?
What is it that causes this insanity, this madness within?
Something buried deep within, something I don't want to see
Something I must live to find before it gets the best of me
