Can you hear me cryin'
From so far away
Do you feel me dyin'
As my soul drifts away
Can you feel the madness
That keeps me company
Do you know the sweet taste
Of my agony

Is this real?
Is this true?
The world spins
Around me

Is this real?
Is this true?
Is it the world that spins
Around you

I can't feel the tears now
Like so many before
Life is losing meaning
I slowly close the door
My mind is being shattered
I feel like such a whore
My body howls in pain
I'm broken scarred and sore

This can't be real
Can't be true
The pain in me
The world of you

Let me go I see the light
The exits waiting for me
Let me hold her in my arms
See how madness loves me
And Death she spreads her legs so wide
Just to let me in
I've danced this dance so many times
I know it never ends

This is real, this is true
I don't matter to any of you
I know I'm real
I know the truth
Can I be outside of you?
Or am I just the world within
Waiting to make you mine again.
