many days many nights
filled my head with torture
painful days lonely nights
prooving a pointless future
secluded times living lies
knowing there was no cure


living in a haze
trapped in a maze
seeking to be
trying to save me
something wrong with me
insanity welcomes me
why won't god set me free?



leads



tightrope walking on sanity
wondering what is wrong with me
so many years wasted, i couldn't be
perhaps tomorrow will set me free



ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh


creeping mold
of getting old
having no life
insanity's my wife
smoldering dreams
devestated hopes
there is no future
i don't know how to cope


ooooooooooooooooo


floating in a void
i cannot tell time
i cannot exist outside myself
feeling worthlessness
seeing a huge abyss
i cannot get well
not well, oh hell


ahhh what's wrong with me
how can i help me from myself
or from some dark secret inside me
tell me what i can do?


ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhh


i scream for my reality
not the creatures in front of me
sorcerors of my insanity


many years wasted away
i've got to find some way out!


reflecting upon myself
blaming no one else
reaching for the skies
saving myself


i'm  not looking for pity
nor for your help
you wouldn't give anyways
so what the helllllllll

i figured out what's wrong
often written in my songs
manic depression haunts me
the realization sets me free

i broke the grip it had on me
forever determined to be free
even despite of what ails me
but at least my value is seen

so i stepped out of the mire
spirit no longer consumed in fire
my mind more at ease cause
i set myself free!
freeee

[Flash Harry]

Frank, this is awesome. Shit kicking rock, great vocals. Production is fabulous.

[phantasm777]

thanks gier, jarle, blooby, andyr and flash. i found myself unimpressed with the production and vox, almost redid some, so that's weird, but appreciate the comments and time. since i can only use audacity, it never seems to record as clear of tracks as what most people use here, but then, these are rough demo's, never expected to be perfect but i try to do the best i can with what seemingly shitty stuff i have. i am glad when people see past that and speak of what i was going for, even with my limitations!
