IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
I COME ALIVE

THE WITCHING HOUR
THE TIME I THRIVE

CONJURING MAGIC
SUMMONING SPELLS

NOCTURNAL LIFE A DARKENED PARADISE
DIURNAL LIFE A BURNING HELL

AMONGST THE LICHEN COVERED RUINS
THE LOST SOULS OF CHILDREN PLAY
THE SUN MAY BE OUT
BUT IT’S STILL A GREY AND CHILLY DAY

YOUR EYES PLAY TRICKS
YOUR MIND PLAYS GAMES
IN THE NEITHER WORLD OF SANITY
YOUR EYES PLAY TRICKS
YOUR MIND PLAYS GAMES
WHERE SHADOWS & DEMONS REIGN

CAN’T SAY THE WORLD’S GETTING BETTER
CAN’T SAY IT’S GETTING WORSE
HUMANITY’S STILL A BLESSING
HUMANKIND OFTEN A CURSE

MY EARLY MEMORIES ARE
OF DISNEYLAND AND THE FALL OF SAIGON
THE “HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH”
AND A BRUTAL WAR IN A FOREIGN LAND

CAPITALISM AND COLONIALISM
WAR ZONES AND FAMILY VACATIONS
ARBITRARY BORDERS,
ARTIFICIAL EYESORES

DAILY WITNESS TO MISERY
PAIN AND INSANITY

BUT I STILL SURROUND MYSELF
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

AND IF I LOSE MY SENSE OF HUMOUR
I’LL LOSE MY OWN HUMANITY
SO YOU BET I’M STILL ANGRY
BUT I’M STILL SMILING

THE SHIP’S IN DANGER
OF CAPSIZING
THERE’S BLOOD IN THE WATER
SURROUNDED BY SHARKS

BUT YOU’RE PRETENDING
EVERYTHING’S NORMAL
JUST ANOTHER
WALK IN THE PARK

ENCIRCLED BY PREDATORS
BUT I’LL STILL TAKE THE RISK
I’M GONNA DIVE RIGHT IN
AND SWIM FOR IT

THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM
AND I’M RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE
TIME TO MAKE A BREAK FOR IT
ESCAPE THIS SHOWCASE FOR IDIOTS
