Slipping down the spiral, the whole world painted black
Devoured by the darkness, slipping through the cracks
Descending into chaos, damaged and deranged
Here alone in my own hell I drive myself insane
I hear a million voices, but none i recognise
I hear them sneer, I hear them laugh, I even hear them cry
Within this shell, this prison cell that doesn't have a key
Here alone all on my own in my insanity
And the madness calls to me
It calls my name
Sliding ever deeper, no end to the descent
Nerves have lost all feeling, numb and nonchalant
Anxiety takes over, can't breathe, the air is thin
I suffocate in solitude while the walls are closing in
Befriended by a shadow, but I don't know it's name
Me and me, we both agree that I have gone insane
Deafened by the screaming, my own and in my head
Welcome to my nightmare, where I dream that I am dead
And the madness calls to me
It calls my name
It knows my name
LEAD SOLO – Goss
And the madness calls to me
It calls me friend
I hear the madness calling me
It knows my name
