I am the voice of instability
the voice of oft believed incredulity
the shadow that dwells on the corners of your eyes
the mist trapped in total disguise
just beyond your vision
beyond your mission
I am a stable mind unmasked

I reside in a world you can't compare
live in a country that you dispair
held by a thought you never knew
a faded glimpse of what you do
a hidden decree
forbidden yet free
I am a stable mind unmasked

raped by the dreams you threw away
abused by the memories of an earlier day
neglected and shunned in one look
branded inferrior by the ideas you took
serrated and jaded
disected and shaded
I am a stable mind unmasked

I'm the demon you try to kill
the terror within you try not to spill
the gleam you try desperately to deny
the forbidden joy upon which you rely
beastly and gruesome
sickly and lonesome
I am a stable mind unmasked

forced to conquer your mind with razor claws
eating your soul with overwhelming jaws
destined to win by sheer force
guaranteed to win this vicious course
confident and right
I am the way and light
I am a stable mind unmasked

I will win your mind and kill your soul
make you incomplete and oddly whole
you have nothing to contain me
I'm destined to run rampant and free
a single bullet to use
locked and loaded you choose
I am a stable mind unmasked
get down with my sickness.....

down with your sickness is what I implore
never quite ready to settle the final score
spread your message of selfrighteous suicide
locked behind a door and trapped inside
no window and no escape
the perfect place to consecrate
your final desires to fade away
your lasting decree to see the way
no way out yet the choice is still mine
there are other places to whine and dine
and though my shadow will never see tomorrow
it's only because it's focused on sorrow
the pain and torture you left to me
will someday pass and set me free
yet till that day I'll smile and cry
wait for the day that I must die
with open arms and final pleasure
it will be a day of mixed treasure
good and bad, hand in hand
a basket of water, and one with sand
good and bad yet one and the same
life all over just a different name
life and death the same deck of cards
pain and joy still the same shards
they still burn and cut my soul
tear me up and make me whole
complete for you and broken for me
a jigsaw puzzle of reality
tainted and pure, a perfect pair
complement the other and they share
show me something to escape this wheel
and I'll show you something that's real
