Four white walls and beam of light
Sweaty ceiling about to fall
Choky air flies all around
Hypnotizing silence soothes the mind
Perfect time to fly away
To be another, in other place
To scream and howl without a sound
To dive into a lake of fire
And swim as a blind fish through the furnace
Under the disk of burning sun
Trying to catch that sound of heat
Which barks and screams as hound unleashed
Eternal maze with narrow halls
Full of dead ends and locked up doors
How deep and far will my mind go
For mind have wings and body doesn't
How high they'll take me i don't know
Well maybe high enough to see
How small is all I thought is treasure
But I'm afraid to go that high
Because I'll be too scared to fall
To fall so fast into a void
And crawl there in the dark of night
Bump in to a big, dark pond
Full of filthy, tricky mermaids
Who'll whisper lies into my ears
And who will laugh when I believe them
And I'll do everything they say
Just to escape these hopeless lands
I will betray and I will lie
To those I care about and love
And when there's no one to betray
I'll know that I betrayed myself
That I took something that's not mine
That I possessed unholy grail
Which wasn't meant to be possessed
That I have chosen coward's path
And I shall burn in a lake of fire
And blind fish will swim around my bones
And then the cycle will be closed.
