Compulsive Betrayal

They're protected by their titles

And safe behind their names

Look to the flames reaching out for you

Insanity's coming back for you

And I'm lost in the shadow's lack of peace

The unrelentless, unbound streets of mind

Forever shine

And I'm strangled by the flowers forever dying

Wrapped in lust, embraced by fear

I'm afraid to see

And I'm afraid to hear

The unchained beauty of what's inside

It's a silent scream that you can never hide

It appears as a shadow pacing back and forth

The pain starts to envelope you

Fading into grey

And I'm dead within the walls of your mind

Insanity's never left behind

An atrocity commited by saints

A miracle enacted by terrorists

They sit in their circle of deceit

Forcing the children into slavery

Relishing their power

Laughing at the decay

And I'm lost in the shadow's lack of peace

The unrelentless, unbound streets of mind

And I'm strangled by the flowers forever dying

Wrapped in lust, embraced by fear

I'm afraid to see

And I'm afraid to hear

The unchained beauty of what's inside

It's a silent scream that you can never hide
