Something Wonderful

[Verse 1]
I'm crawling in my head with the walking dead
I've got a cold sweat on my skin
I'm fighting back the demons in a waking dream
Where my weakness will become a sin
I'm holding onto terror, it's my guiding light
It's gonna pull me out of my mind
A never-ending telepathic testimony
To the fear that I feel inside

[Verse 2]
Hell is not a place, it's a game you play
And suffer every move you make
Possession is the prize in the enemy eyes
You pay for every chance you take
A soul is not a soul until it lives in a hole
With a hacked up life and limb
The pain that you find can make you feel so fine
The alienation's dead

[Chorus 1]
At the back of your mind
Go to the other side
Hello, is anyone home?
But you've been left alone

[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll submit to my own desire
Will the agony be too extreme?
Something deep inside pulled my legs wide open
And the whisper turned into a scream
Took me by surprise when I heard my cries
Because I didn't recognize my voice
A schizophrenic call or a voodoo doll
Too terrified to make that choice

[Chorus 2]
I've been stabbed in the back
By a maniac
And I thought it was me
But I didn't have the guts to believe

[Verse 4]
Beyond good and evil lie the future ghosts
That surround us like a ring of flames
Summoned here by innocents and fools alike
For the pleasure of the game
I wish to hell I was a stronger man
And I could heal just as quick as scar
But I'm weak, when I'm in this deep
It's not a game anymore, it's gone too far

[Chorus 2]
I've been stabbed in the back
By a maniac
And I thought it was me
But I didn't have the guts to believe
