This is the strangest life
I’ve ever known
Born from imagination
I live in this world of illusion


 


Twisted face in the mirror
His unwanted thoughts
Are screaming in my head
pushing me closer to the edge


 


This descent into madness
Rips and claws my life apart
Images strange and disturbing start
hunting me down, I slowly fade away
Into the descent nto madness and I’m sliding faster everyday


 


The flames in the inferno
Turns me to ash
while the devils black spell
Make’s me count souls to the ring of the bell


 


Praying I will explode
to nothingness
the bullets in my head
make me wonder if I am dead


 


This  descent into madness
Rips and claws my life apart
Images strange and disturbing start
hunting me down, I slowly fade away
Into the descent into madness and I’m sliding faster everyday


 


I am beyond doubting
my own sanity
I can’t believe my eyes
The reaper points it’s time to die


 


And strangers in my mind
like dark shadows
are closing in on me
my eyes nailed shut, but still they see


 


Bridge
Faces talking backwards
wayward fantasies marching home
through the rivers of red
Blood’s cheap while I’m lying in a coma in my bed


 


This decent into madness
Rips and claws my life apart
Images strange and disturbing start
hunting me down, I slowly fade away
Into then descent to madness and I’m sliding faster everyday

Tony, I appreciate the depth of your lyrics.  No one writes this way without having first suffered.

Hi G,


 


Thanks for the kudos. I had a lot of fun writing this lyric. Maybe I'm a little bit too close to the edge-lol.

Hi Jim,


 


I have had my share of miserable girlfriends but that was 33 year ago. so I guess that I am blessed with a hyper-imagination. Thanks for the compliment on my writing.

Interesting rhyme scheme. It adds to the unsettled and emotional feeling of the piece. I'm thinking you meant to call it Descent into Madness, rather than Decent.  Looking forward to hearing it :)

Hi Stweart,


 


I stated writing this lyric with the idea of it not being serious but the more that I wrote the more serious it became. I actually was inspired by the song the "White Rabbit" But anyway thanks for the comments I do appreciate them.

Hi Sheila,

I changed the word decent in the lyric to descent --thanks for that corrrection. I am usless without a spell checker-lol. It'll be a month or so before the song is completed. If I get permissison from the Composer I will post the song here. Thanks for the postive feedback,
