Plague

Satan sleeps inside my brain
 And when he wakes he takes me far away
 He takes me to this place
 That I completely hate
 Where I'm a prisoner in my own body
 And I cannot escape, I'm just a rat in a maze
 And he sleeps less and less with the the days coming
 So I just beg and beg
 I'm crawling on my knees
 Depart from me
 But he won't
 ♪
 The ocean isn't any louder while the city sleeps
 We just aren't there to wash it out when we're occupied with dreams
 A good friend once told me that darkness only confirms what we cannot see
 Well I sunk underground and I'm laughing now
 'Cause I finally understand what it means
 I understand
 ♪
 This is me
 This is my disease
 So take your mud and water
 Please let me see
 I don't know, no, no, what I believe
 But if you really loved me
 You'd set me free
 I need to know I can but when I let my head fall
 I see I'm walking on nothing but clay
 I need to leave you behind, conduct a cut and run
 Just like my father before me
 You little serpent, little cancer, little poison, little death
 You are my worst at its best
 You are a dirty dog in this field of flowers
 What is a thief to do with nothing left to steal?
 ♪
 There's a war inside my head
 A brilliant display of death
 Even with the chemicals gone
 There's still blood everywhere
 A friend says send yourself back home
 And heal your deepest wounds
 And if the scars they leave can't be ignored, remember none of this is real
 What a simple solution to prescribe when you aren't haunted like house
 I'll perch the universe atop my shoulders, it wouldn't even cast a shadow now
 I've got a mountain to move
