steps leading down to insanity's door

Paisley patterns in my head
thoughts of bodies floating dead

Fluorescent lights mixed with rancid rain
a little radiation kills the pain

sparkling diamonds for your eyes
stars no longer in the sky's

turn the tables avenge the past
violence, bloodshed till the last

dying planets, dying sun
animals hunt you with their guns

Can't stand the violence? have a drink
bloody water drips in the sink

Can't stand the blood? take a pill
the dead haunt you and always will

down in the basement through a hole in the floor
steps leading down to insanity's door.

Reality drags you down, knowledge rips your heart
society as we know it soon to fall apart

Some hearts are true, some hearts are fake
all are in the hell we make

Can't take it? Sit and cry
the world will never wonder why

They'll hand out a drug and give some lies
poor child, bloody tears in your eyes

Acid rain eating through your roof
society still looking for proof

Deaths at your door
bloods on the floor
they're coming for you you know

Boundaries crossed
time is lost
there is only one place to go

down in the basement through a hole in the floor
steps leading down to insanity's door.

`89

Take the individual step
start your own beginning
walk the wasted mile
where no one else is living
your own choice, your own test
Yourself you must surpass
the time for making your own life
and taking it at last
