Walk a few miles in the shoes of a madman
Born little more than a bastard with a name
Live your life with fragments of memories
Adding up to nightmares forged in blood and pain
Cry tears of solitude and nobody ever cared
Then own the label of a gifted problem child
Always take the blame for what you've never done
Now take your scars and hide them deep inside
The pain of a young man is more than he can bear
When faced with the pressures of teenage society
Delve into the darkness of drugs and alcohol
To a point that goes beyond what you call extremity
Although it eased the pain it doesn't go away
Yet creates more problems that you don't even notice
And you become something that you loath
A monstrous beast fueled by rage and uncontrolled
Relationships are hard to hold and never last that long
Friends pass like dreams upon an endless sea
You become lost in anger and sadness with each passing day
Until you realize nothing is as it seems
But then you find the Amber in the rough
She sooths your soul like none have done before
Everything seems right and nothing could go wrong
But this is just a fragment just one of many more
Back into the darkness to become what you hate
A demon ruled by anger and drugs and alcohol
A womanizing bastard until the very end
Always knowing in your mind of your eternal fall
This is the life you lead and with no remorse
Until eventually giving into the darkness deep inside
Becoming a victim to your own growing madness
And at the same time this madness you must hide
Welcome inside the mind of a madman
Welcome inside the mind of a man who has changed
Welcome inside the mind of a man who fears his own past
Welcome inside the mind of a man ruled by his own pain
