Ripping Up Time

Lyrics:

I like this time of day when light is fading fast and night is upon us
There's no escape
There is madness here
I close my eyes, see flickering lights, flashing signs, torment the mind

Rippin' up time, I'm out of my mind
Rippin' up time, I'm out of my mind
There is madness here
Rippin' up time, I'm out of my mind
Lost in space, in my head I can't escape
There is madness here
Rippin' up time, I'm out of my mind

Lost in this mirage: reflection of your soul
Have I found myself in someone else's dream?
Is this real or insanity?

Time goes by, people fade into the past
The void, memory sustains, be not afraid
There is sadness here
Be a forgiver, break the spell
Don't let these dark emotions drag you down

Rippin' up time, I'm losing my mind
Rippin' up time, I'm out of my mind
There is madness here

Yet still I consider that all that I say is better than being unsaid
Before the fading
Before the fading away
Into this night nothing is saved
But the the never aching rage that filters away
Astonishing praise at the end of the day
My mind becomes pure in this cold reality
A breath, a chill, as images find flight and soar deep into the shadows of the starlight

Rippin' up time
