Birth to Insanity

Shed the laughter, shed the tears
See the old man looking back throughout the years
Time is slipping through the hand
Cannot seem to find the place it all began
All the times I've heard you say, "I wish that I could have another day"
Now the truth becomes alive, now it's for real.

Ah, behold the dream, ashes to dust, silence to scream
When darkness is all the eye can see
The soul drifts into insanity

Through the back door of the mind, we come to realize it's twisted up inside
Reaching out from deep within, contemplate the sin that slowly makes us die

Seething aggravation, feeding desperation
Sanity is killing me, locked inside this cage.
All i see, inside of me, enemy, filled with rage.

Ah, behold the dream, ashes to dust, silence to scream
When darkness is all the eye can see
The soul drifts into insanity
