See the world through a naked mind long enough
And you'll go mad
One way or another
Lose yourself again and again

The monster you created out of necessity
Becoming a mind of his own
Stake the horrors like a wall
and shield yourself from the pain
As if it ever stopped

Welcome back, sweet child o mine
Back into my head
Been a long time since I tasted
The fruits of madness in all their fleeting glory

And yet, in the long time you forget
the reasons why you twisted  your own mind
And all that's left is a shallow shell
And the fear of anything else.
