Tension

Verse 1

Trapped within this flesh, a structure of my own design

An endless dialogue echoes through the labyrinths of mind

A constant entity, awake when I should sleep

Sowing toxic doubt in valleys dark and deep

Pre-Chorus

It builds me up, a temporary god of flesh and thought

Then tears the foundation, exposing what is truly sought

A pendulum swinging between salvation and despair

I am the victim of the unseen resident in there

Chorus

Escape the confines of this conscious cage!

A symphony of madness, an internalized rage

Mending the fragments, only to destroy the whole

The relentless dictator demanding total control

Get me out of this mental dimension

Release me from this inward tension!

Verse 2

Whispers of encouragement warp into a screaming hate

A dualistic architect designing my own fate

It questions every motive, dissecting every choice

I am held hostage by this immaterial voice

Pre-Chorus

It builds me up, a temporary god of flesh and thought

Then tears the foundation, exposing what is truly sought

A pendulum swinging between salvation and despair

I am the victim of the unseen resident in there

Chorus

Escape the confines of this conscious cage!

A symphony of madness, an internalized rage

Mending the fragments, only to destroy the whole

The relentless dictator demanding total control

Get me out of this mental dimension

Release me from this inward tension!

Bridge

Sanity is slipping, fading in the noise

Stripped of my autonomy, treated like a toy

To sever the attachment, to finally be free

From the parasite of consciousness that feeds inside of me

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Will I ever conquer this labyrinth of pain?

Or will this inner demon forever rule my brain?

It heals the wounds it inflicts, a sickening decree

I must rip myself away from this false reality

Chorus

Escape the confines of this conscious cage!

A symphony of madness, an internalized rage

Mending the fragments, only to destroy the whole

The relentless dictator demanding total control

Get me out of this mental dimension

Release me from this inward tension!
