| 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
