Into The Abyss (played & recorded by Altered State of Consciousness)

A twisted mental freedom brings
Living nightmares when I�m awake
A mind that screams such anguished things
Sanity on the brink of a break

Help me to unveil my heathen soul
Let bewildered child retain control
Unravel mysteries of the mind
Let my true face be shown to mankind

My consciousness falls away, with mind numbing pain
Colors all fade to grey, the real world seems insane
Wondering of reality, how easily it fell
Dreams of lost fidelity, but who could really tell?

Gone off on a mental trip, travel within my brain
Through tight lips a cry does slip, cracking under the strain
Accusations still declined, until my dying day
Sanity�s borders defined, but who am I to say?

The twisted side of my mind�s calling
Sensual bitter-sweet seduction
Hypothetically I am falling
Into an abyss to my destruction

My greatest loss, this mental decay
Nightmares of the day seem all too real
Just which world is truth I cannot say
For when I am asleep, do I not feel?
