Never hunger

Never prosper

I haven fallen prey to failure



Struggle within

Triggered again

Now the candle burns at both ends



Twisting under schizophrenia

Falling deep into dementia



Old habits reappear

Fighting the fear of fear

Growing conspiracy

Everyone's after me

Frayed ends of sanity

Hear them calling

Hear them calling me



Birth of terror

Death of much more

I'm the slave of fear, my captor



Never warnings

Spreading its wings

As I wait for the horror she brings



Loss of interest, question, wonder

Waves of fear they pull me under



Old habits reappear

Fighting the fear of fear

Growing conspiracy

Everyone's after me

Frayed ends of sanity

Hear them calling

Hear them calling me



Into ruin

I am sinking

Hostage of this nameless feeling



Hell is set free

Flooded I'll be

Feel the undertow inside me



Height, Hell, Time, Haste, Terror, Tension

Life, Death, Want, Waste, Mass Depression



Old habits reappear

Fighting the fear of fear

Growing conspiracy

Myself is after me

Frayed ends of sanity

Hear them calling

Frayed ends of sanity

Hear them calling

Hear them calling me
