Hell The Oppressors Lyrics

VERSE 1

I LOOSE MY TONGUE AND TELL ALL WHO WILL LISTEN AND BEG OF MY FRIENDS TO ASSUME MY POSITION PRETENDING BELIEF, THEY TRY TO EXPLAIN BUT CLEARLY THEY REALLY BELIEVE I'M INSANE

VERSE 2

DESPITE THE INTENSITY OF ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN MY RIGID CONVICTION - IT WAS NOT A DREAM THEY SOW SEEDS OF UNCERTAINTY DEEP IN MY MIND THEY PLANT DOUBT AND QUESTIONS, ATTEMPTING TO BLIND ME

BRIDGE

MY TREMBLING ARM IS TAKEN BY A STRANGER'S OUTSTRETCHED HAND HIS GRIP IS FIRM, HIS VOICE IS STERN, AND I SUCCUMB TO HIS DEMANDS CONFUSED (AND NOT A LITTLE SCARED), I AM TAKEN TO A ROOM WHERE BUT ONE SINGLE CANDLE FLAME RELIEVES THE HEAVY GLOOM THERE DO I RETELL MY TALE, NOT ONCE, BUT MANY TIMES AT LAST, BELIEVED, I AM RELIEVED, CONTENTMENT NOW IS MINE
VERSE 3

ALL AT ONCE THEIR SYMPATHY AVERTS TO RIDICULE THEY SCORN ME AS THEY WOULD A CLOWN, A JESTER, OR A FOOL "WE BELIEVE YOU MY FRIEND", MY CAPTOR WRYLY SAYS THOSE THINGS YOU SAW WERE REAL ENOUGH - BUT ONLY IN YOUR HEAD

VERSE 4

SO AM I INSANE? NOW I'M NOT SO SURE FEAR SURROUNDS ME AS I WALK OUT THE DOOR TRAPPED IN THIS LABYRINTH OF DOUBT AND CONFUSION DENIAL OF ALL IS MY ONLY SOLUTION
