Shellshock

Are these the eyes of a madman that see a crumbling sky 
Reaching out for the answer  please tell me why 
In a state of reclusion  in a shell shocked mind 
Gazing into the darkness  that I can't find 

Stay calm there is panic all around 
Listen to the silence it is so loud 
Raise hell who says that I am insane 
Follow let the blind man lead the way 
Madness I am your slave 
Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock draining the life from me 
Shellshock Shellshock  my ears they bleed 
Shellshock Shellshock Shellshock  twisting my every dream 
Shellshock Shellshock  insanity was born in me 

In the chill of a nightmare  awake in screaming pain 
Bowing down to emotion  every nerve in flame 
Am I blind to the reason  can I really see 
Along the path of confusion  it's hard to me 

Watching time for the timeless  within a conscious dream 
A fading scene of violence  what can this mean 
Through a faith in illusion  redeem a jaded past 
The clawing hands of the clock face  they turn so fast
