Damascus Steel - Through the Eyes of a Madman

Tortured, tormented through years gone by
I'm now just a shell of a being
Living in a world that I've created
Appearing normal but looks are deceiving

Insanity...It's my destiny
Far as I can see I'm never escaping
Insanity...for all eternity
No one else can see what my eyes are seeing

Thorozine, prozac? I will not abide
I want to be alone with my visions
Filled with anger, hatred, demise
My reality's beyond comprehension

What my eyes are seeing...
I'm never escaping...
I'm never escaping...

Bloody visions of a courtyard
Bodies lying all around me
Sirens screaming, blue lights flashing
Knife in hand is how they'll find me

In the playground where I played
I couldn't have been much more than five
Children are laughing in the background
My daddy, dear daddy, is by my side
Push me daddy way-up on the swing
Let's see how high I can go
Daddy you're pushing me way to high
Daddy, daddy.....No-o-o-o!!!

What my eyes are seeing...
I'm never escaping...
I'm never escaping...

Physically, sexually, and mentally abused
I suppressed all the fears and emotions
Building inside me, creating this monster
Your cruelty will bring your destruction

What my eyes are seeing...
I'm never escaping...
I'm never escaping...
