I used to...drink drank, and smoke cocaine

Straight doin' dank with my buddy MaryJane

One led to another like the links of a chain

when I was shackled to the demons in my house of pain

Deep behind my mind, I used to hide

on a homicidal, suicidal one-way ride

The tears I would cause became the tears that I cried

A misguided corpse bride on the day that I died

One year... five years... a lifetime of years

One tear... five tears... a lifetime of tears

As I gave in to the darkness and I gave in to the fears

I would hear a rousing chorus of the demons' cheers

Sanitarium song turned to insane asylum woe

as I fell higher and higher to the depths down below

but I didn't know then what I now know

and I cried those tears a long time ago

I cried out for mercy and God heard my cry

and every time I left him, he never said goodbye

I never dodged death, I just wasn't meant to die

and now I live to testify

I never knew a love existed

that could take a mind so sick and twisted

and destroy the legion I enlisted

even when I pushed, when I resisted

Link by link, he breaks my chains

and shows grace and mercy on all that remains

Precious blood running through my veins

eased the lyrical fears...the poetical pains

He helped me rise after the fall

helped push me up, and over that wall

but sometimes, when it's quiet, I hear the demons call

Sometimes the sound of silence is the saddest sound of all

Though my house of pain has fallen and my mind is almost clear

I'm sure I'll always have a rhyme inked by a single tear

from walking down the hallway, the hallway of fear

leading to the room of sorrow that still exists here
