Pandemonium

I feel a cold apprehension, a moment of tension I can't help but notice the signs Looks like a storm is approaching A torrent that's hoping to drown out the sound of our cries I hear the rain as it starts to fall Sounds of a carnival swell in the eye of the storm I feel the strangest sensation, the stark realisation I don't have to try anymore I put a lightning rod on top of the house But I think I climbed in vain 'Cause the hopes I had were swallowed by doubt When I felt that cold black rain I feel pandemonium coming The sound makes me sick to my stomach Discordant harmonies ripped out a part of me Can't feel my legs as I'm running Towards a distant carousel turning I sprint as the funnel clouds worsen I ride to my own deathwish, I hide from my acceptance I hate that these drugs aren't working again Black out my eyes I've been haunted by paranoid lies I saw a sign on the skyline (skyline) My time's come to an end Drown out my fears I've been running for 31 years I kept these terrors in my life (my life) My time's come to an end I feel a sense of devotion to shadows encroaching As sanity slowly dissolves I hate the words that I've spoken The bonds that I've broken by hiding away every fall I see the dreadful adornment discoloured by torment On flyers all over the town I know it's words are deceitful to tired eyes needful Of rest or an easy way out I put a lightning rod on top of the house But I think I climbed in vain 'Cause the hopes I had were swallowed by doubt When I felt that cold black rain Black out my eyes I've been haunted by paranoid lies I saw a sign on the skyline (skyline) My time's come to an end Drown out my fears I've been running for 31 years I kept these terrors in my life (my life) My time's come to an end My head's ridden with sin I hear that music again As a broke down carousel spins Into the past to the end of my life I ask why Am I destined to die? In the same disbelief that's been haunting my sleep every night
