When your head's exploding and your vision blurred
The teasing torture when anger is spurred
When the bats in your belfry won't let you sleep
Incessant insomnia or does it go more deep ?

Yet it's in all of us, catch me if I fall
The seed of madness, the seed of madness
It's in your body, a genetic cruelty
Seed of madness, seed of madness

Into the abyss between love and hate
Happiness don't come on a plate
Hold your head up high and breathe in hope
Else you'll find yourself dangling on the end of a rope

In the midnight hour when your body screams
Make sure those voices are in your dreams
With a knife in her back and blood on your hands
Your twisted mind just can't comprehend
