Mad House - Creature Feature

Where did all this begin, my malicious tale

So rife with loathing, despair, and revenge

Picture this, a home could grow aware

Would this explain why I now live in fear?

Sometimes the razor’s dull and doesn’t cut enough

Sometimes it definitely cuts too much

All of this aggression and fury inside me

Has seeped into the bones of this old house

Year by year, the rage was building up

And my short fuse has turned against me now

Sometimes the razor’s dull and doesn’t cut enough

Sometimes it definitely cuts too much

Sometimes the anger doesn’t always manifest

Sometimes the anger’s like a hornet’s nest

I don’t know how much I can take

I simply must get out of this mad house

Nowhere to hide, I can’t escape

I really think it’s gunning for me now

You can’t imagine how I ache to toss a match

And burn the whole thing down

I pray in time it’s blown away

To nothing but a big hole in the ground

Would I get an answer if these walls could talk?

Would they explain why they now want me dead?

Was it me?

Am I a wicked man?

Was this monster born of my own two hands?

Some days it’s tame, doesn’t spill too much blood

Some days it’s crazed and can never get enough

Some days it’s still like the calm before a storm

Some days I wish I was never born

I don’t know how much I can take

I simply must get out of this mad house

Nowhere to hide, I can’t escape

I really think it’s gunning for me now

You can’t imagine how I ache to toss a match

And burn the whole thing down

I pray in time it’s blown away

To nothing but a big hole in the ground

It’s grown hungry, rather famished

Smelling blood and turning savage

Now it’s learning, forming habits

Sentient and wreaking havoc

It is growing, gaining traction

Can’t give up, I must take action

It is scheming, gaining reason

Making plans, becoming brazen

It is living in existence

Cognizant without a conscience

Shaping tactics without lenience

Setting traps to restore balance now

Get me out of this mad house

I’ll die in this mad house
