VERSE 1

I LOOSE MY TONGUE AND TELL ALL WHO WILL LISTEN
AND BEG OF MY FRIENDS TO ASSUME MY POSITION
PRETENDING BELIEF, THEY TRY TO EXPLAIN
BUT CLEARLY THEY REALLY BELIEVE I’M INSANE

VERSE 2

DESPITE THE INTENSITY OF ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN
MY RIGID CONVICTION – IT WAS NOT DREAM
THEY SOW SEEDS OF UNCERTAINTY DEEP IN MY MIND
THEY PLANT DOUBT AND QUESTIONS, ATTEMPTING TO BLIND ME

BRIDGE

MY TREMBLING ARM IS TAKEN BY STRANGER’S OUTSTRETCHED HAND
HIS GRIP IS FIRM, HIS VOICE IS STERN, AND I SUCCUMB TO HIS DEMANDS
CONFUSED (AND NOT LITTLE SCARED), I AM TAKEN TO ROOM
WHERE BUT ONE SINGLE CANDLE FLAME RELIEVES THE HEAVY GLOOM
THERE DO I RETELL MY TALE, NOT ONCE, BUT MANY TIMES
AT LAST, BELIEVED, I AM RELIEVED, CONTENTMENT NOW IS MINE

VERSE 3 

ALL AT ONCE THEIR SYMPATHY AVERTS TO RIDICULE
THEY SCORN ME AS THEY WOULD CLOWN, JESTER, OR FOOL
“WE BELIEVE YOU MY FRIEND”, MY CAPTOR WRYLY SAYS
THOSE THINGS YOU SAW WERE REAL ENOUGH – BUT ONLY IN YOUR HEAD

VERSE 4

SO AM I INSANE? NOW I’M NOT SO SURE
FEAR SURROUNDS ME AS I WALK OUT THE DOOR
TRAPPED IN THIS LABYRINTH OF DOUBT AND CONFUSION
DENIAL OF ALL IS MY ONLY SOLUTION
