Pain’s Invention, Madness

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Chains shackle me With truth I'm face to face Backed up in between A damp cage I remain In the cell of numb despair The chill engulfs my veins There's only one notion that I revere The only truth in life is pain It levels and crushes at its free will My doomed fate will soon be sealed [Chorus] Pain's invention, madness Preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness Now I realize Pain's invention, madness Though I'll not break free Pain's invention, madness Truth eternally [Verse 2] Beyond my grasp is a life That I will never attain Happiness, joy not in sight Supplanted by truth's dark reign Physical, mental agony shows Along which my life revolves Either you feel it or you don't There are never lies involved Clutching on my abnormality Hand in hand with destiny [Chorus] Pain's invention, madness Preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness Now I realize Pain's invention, madness Though I'll not break free Pain's invention, madness Truth eternally [Verse 3] When you are pumping full of life The one sensation that you have Can penetrate through love or hate Existence on a higher plane In death and life, both the domains Surrender totally to pain [Verse 4] I slip and claw and scream, it calls Leave me alone with me, it yearns I'm bleeding from my brain, it needs me I'm helpless, trapped behind its walls Tearing apart my mind, it burns Upon my naked soul it feeds Streams of consciousness fill the page As my nerve endings scream in rage Deliver me to the darkest age As de Sade sits at center stage My flesh is but a portal now To wisdom and truth I am avowed [Refrain] Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness [Verse 5] Twisting through the door Am I nevermore? My breath I can feel Therefore, I am real I've succumbed to heinous sins And I'll never be forgiven Shackled and bound, my new life I have found And I've tasted the fruits forbidden Craving more of pain's overtures Liberation is near and I have nothing to fear In this journey of self-discovery I have found the keys to be set free In this wicked course, I've uncovered the force That will keep me vital eternally [Chorus] Pain's invention, madness The force that preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness upon me Pain's invention, madness It takes this long to realize Pain's invention, madness has set me free [Chorus] Pain's invention, madness The force that preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness upon me Pain's invention, madness It takes this long to realize Pain's invention, madness has set me free [Verse 6] Transcendency of mere mortality Tortured infliction is now my addiction Constant agony has created me I am suffering through this atrocity I'm not blind to what I might find Squirming way down deep inside my labyrinthine mind Inhibitions removed, replaced with scar tissue And I'm punished with blades of my lobotomizing suit Sought this dream In its violent extreme Now my pleasure is clear Though the lesson's severe My will is strong, but I could be wrong This new doctrine for which I've been searching all along The religion of truth through administration of pain The body only takes so much before it drives the mind insane As a matter of fact, my friend Come to my bitter end Not a torture rack I'm in Though I can still pretend It's a jacket of white with buckles and straps Not a pleasure device at all It keeps me safely under wraps While I'm chained to this padded wall, yeah [Outro] Hear my cries Hear my cries Hear my cries Hear my cries Hear my cries Hear my cries
