On the edge of my sanity
Warps the sense of my own mortality
Looking down an endless hole
Staring into eyes that burn the soul

My soul
Locked at war within myself
Scream in pain not to go to hell

Face the dead nearly every day
Knowing every word I think to say
Evil grasps the final toll
Reaching towards the eyes that burn the soul

My soul
Feeling pain that never ends
Misery is my best friend

I summon demons from the depths of my existence
I challenge all of them to war with no resistance
The battle rages in the mind of the afflicted
The strength to rise above defeat and my tormented soul
My soul

Can’t find the wherewithal to face my inner hatred
I’d face it every day and leave it devastated
I fight possession as it grapples me with fear
The demons that I dread are only in the mirror

Don’t want no one to help me
To fight my battles for me
I’ll climb from deep within me
This demon won’t defeat me

No, I’ll fight against certain death
Oh, I’ll take away its last breath
No, the battle for the mind is now
All that it ever was and is

Now, I release bondage from my heart
To break the hold that’s got me
Tied to the walls that block my goal
No more the eyes that burn the soul

War is raging on within my head
Above the lies that pay the toll
I close my eyes that burn the soul
My soul
