Are these the eyes of a madman 
That see a [bad word] sky 
Reaching out for the answer 
Please tell me why 
In a state of reclusion 
In a shellshocked mind 
Gazing into the darkness 
That i can't find 

Stay calm - there's panic all around 
Listen to the silence it's so loud 
Raise [bad word] - Who says that i'm insane 
Follow let the blindman lead the way 
Madness i'm your slave 
Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock 
Draining the life from me 
Shellshock Shellshock 
My ears they bleed 
Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock 
Twisting my every dream 
Shellshock Shellshock 
Oh insanity was born in me 
In the chill of a nightmare 
Awake in screaming pain 
Bowing down to emotion 
Every nerve in flame 
i blind to the reason 
Can i really see 
Along the path of confusion 
It's hard to me 

Watching time for the timeless 
Within a conscious dream 
fading scene of violence 
What can this mean 
Through a faith in illusion 
Redeem a jaded past 
The clawing hands of the clockface 
They turn so fast
