the mind is a terrible thing to taste ©1989 jourgenson/barker

will these dreams
still follow me
out of dark obscurity
can't you see it
up in the sky
as it kicks you in the face
sucks you dry

you never had
the answers
Now you tell me
the facts of life
i really couldn't be
bothered with you
get out of my face
and watch me die

Burning inside
(burning inside)

absolution
and a frozen rope,
all the dreams of man below
i try to grab it
but the torch is hot
the mirror collapses
but the image does not
i'm scared
of the darkness in light
i scare myself
'cause i know i'm right
i see the evil
in your savage eye
as it comes right through the sky

burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside

carving the mantra
with the blade in the skin
for the demons within
i feel the pain
but the feelings decay
but the lesson
never fades away

turning to shadows
and turning away
another fare
to the reaper paid
another slave
and a victim of fate
another lesson in hate

burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
burning inside
