Array ( [sid] => 90413 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Mask of degraded sanity [time] => 2005-04-09 07:11:33 [hometext] => this one is about the darkness inside, from a time when i was despised by even my closest of friends [bodytext] => My skin is burning my mind has failed,
Destroyed once again as my heart is impaled,
Now I feel the fires that burn my soul alive,
But this just another deception that I alone must survive,

Believing what I wish to see, hearing forgotten dreams,
I am haunted by my own presence voices from my past make endless screams,
I have fallen now to the deceptions of my corroded mind,
To all of my own flaws I have been so unforgivably blind,

But once more I shall repair my illusions and my mask of degraded sanity,
Until once again my own misconduct reveals my disgraceful lack of humanity,
A plague is what I am, a disease is all I will become, but what I have been is worse,
From life till death I have brought pure innocence a terrible and destructive curse,

I have destroyed what was intended to blossom out of pure jealousy and rage,
All because I am not human, I am an animal intended for a mentally restrictive cage,
To all those who I have mistreated through the weakness of my soul,
To them I am in great debt and to repay them is my only goal,

I live for something pure, of which I know I cannot achieve,
Its time I disappear and bring all a swift reprieve,
I will become at one with the shadows, for I cannot live in the light,
So I shall accept the creature that I am and fade away into the night,

To entrap the creature that possesses my essence, to control myself with despair,
I will no longer plague them because I now take a vow; no more shall I be there,
No longer shall I inflict misery, annoyance, pain or even sympathetic guilt,
But I shall repay my debts, until my final tears are spilt.

Mask of degraded sanity

My skin is burning my mind has failed,
Destroyed once again as my heart is impaled,
Now I feel the fires that burn my soul alive,
But this just another deception that I alone must survive,

Believing what I wish to see, hearing forgotten dreams,
I am haunted by my own presence voices from my past make endless screams,
I have fallen now to the deceptions of my corroded mind,
To all of my own flaws I have been so unforgivably blind,

But once more I shall repair my illusions and my mask of degraded sanity,
Until once again my own misconduct reveals my disgraceful lack of humanity,
A plague is what I am, a disease is all I will become, but what I have been is worse,
From life till death I have brought pure innocence a terrible and destructive curse,

I have destroyed what was intended to blossom out of pure jealousy and rage,
All because I am not human, I am an animal intended for a mentally restrictive cage,
To all those who I have mistreated through the weakness of my soul,
To them I am in great debt and to repay them is my only goal,

I live for something pure, of which I know I cannot achieve,
Its time I disappear and bring all a swift reprieve,
I will become at one with the shadows, for I cannot live in the light,
So I shall accept the creature that I am and fade away into the night,

To entrap the creature that possesses my essence, to control myself with despair,
I will no longer plague them because I now take a vow; no more shall I be there,
No longer shall I inflict misery, annoyance, pain or even sympathetic guilt,
But I shall repay my debts, until my final tears are spilt.
