Time Does Not Heal

It's always darkest before it goes Completely black I''m older now so I should know You never can look back But the scars of childhood memories Dominate my head The inner pain I've vowed to keep Until the day I''m dead You can't see, the life I was forced to lead What its like to die daily You can't feel, the thoughts I've learned to steal Survival is my reality When I was young I lived in fear The hands of doom forever drawing near I wonder how I learned to persevere As time advanced deceit was my life's truth Spurred on by the peace I never knew [Chorus]: Time does not heal The scars that burned me in my youth Time does not heal The pain that carved in me the truth Time does not heal The torture struck upon my past Time does not heal The scars that were left and meant to last Over the many years I've tried To bury deep my past Attempting to cope with what's inside My wastelands of regret But defeated before I began To join the human race Indelibly I've felt the brand Of scars I can't erase I was the fool, subversive and overrulled Into my abyss I was pulled The ways of hate, constantly agitate The scars as they'd eviscerate Inside my head desolation forms Shadows grasping my mind through its storm I couldn't see that I was being forewarned That anguish was to take my life's controls And rake its wounds forever into my soul [Chorus] Time does not heal The scars that burned me in my youth Time does not heal The pain that carved in me the truth Time does not heal The torture struck upon my past Time does not heal The scars that were left and meant to last [Bridge]: I have learned to live alone, it's meant to be Endless lies and emptiness fulfilling me Life's there to deceive the truth you''ll never see Understand that I am dying to be free Images have haunted me since I was young Chilling were the arms of fear I was among What were once just nightmares now have since become real Atrocities which I can't escape from... It's always darkest before it goes Completely black I've realized now that it's impossible Surviving their attack Through duress I'm borne, a past that's brought me scorn And when I'm dead, will I be mourned? The scars I've worn, the mental flesh I've shredded and torn [Chorus] Time does not heal The scars that burned me in my youth Time does not heal The pain that carved in me the truth Time does not heal lThe torture struck upon my past Time does not heal The scars that were left and meant to last

Chains shackle me With truth I''m face to face Backed up in between A damp cage I remain In this cell of numb despair The chill engulfs my veins There's only one notion that I revere The only truth in life is pain It levels and crushes at its free will My doomed fate will soon be sealed [Chorus]: Pain's invention, madness Preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness Now I realize Pain's invention, madness Though I'll not break free Pain's invention, madness Truth eternally Beyond my grasp is a life That I will never attain Happiness, joy, not in sight Supplanted by truth''s dark reign Physical, mental agony shows Along which my life revolves Either you feel it, or you don't There are never lies involved Clutching to my abnormality Hand in hand with destiny [Chorus] Pain's invention, madness Preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness Now I realize Pain's invention, madness Though I''ll not break free Pain's invention, madness Truth eternally [Bridge]: When you are pumping full of life The one sensation that you have Can penetrate through love or hate Existence on a higher plane In death and life, both the domains Surrender totally to pain I slip and claw and scream It calls Leave me alone with me It yearns I''m bleeding from my brain It needs me I''m helpless, trapped behind its walls Tearing apart my mind It burns Upon my naked soul It feeds Streams of consciousness fill the page As my nerve endings scream in rage Deliver me to the darkest age As DeSade sits at center stage My flesh is but a portal now To wisdom and truth I am avowed Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness Pain's invention, madness Twisting through the door Am I nevermore? My breath I can feel Therefore I am real I've succumbed to these heinous sins And I'll never be forgiven Shackled and bound, my new life I've found And I've tasted the fruits forbidden I''m craving more Of pain's overtures Liberation is near And I have nothing to fear In this journey of self-discovery I have found the keys to be set free In this wicked course, I've uncovered the force That will keep me vital eternally [Chorus II] Pain's invention, madness The force that preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness upon me Pain's invention, madness It takes this long to realize Pain's invention, madness, has set me free [Chorus II] Pain's invention, madness The force that preys behind my eyes Pain's invention, madness upon me Pain's invention, madness It takes this long to realize Pain's invention, madness, has set me free Transcendency Of mere mortality Tortured infliction Is now my addiction Constant agony Has created me I am suffering Through this atrocity I'm not blind to what I might find Squirming way down deep inside my labyrinthine mind Inhibitions removed, replaced with scar tissue And I'm punished with blades of my lobotomizing suit I've sought this dream In its violent extreme Now my pleasure is clear Though the lesson's severe My will is strong, but I could be wrong This new doctrine for which I've been searching all along is The religion of truth through administration of pain The body only takes so much before it drives the mind insane As a matter of fact, my friend I''ve come to my bitter end It's not a torture rack I''m in Though I can still pretend It's a jacket of white with buckles and straps Not a pleasure device at all It keeps me safely under wraps While I'm chained to this padded wall hear my cries... you''ll never know

Emotions are easily spent Twisted and forever bent When fixations are not returned The lines are so quickly obscured [Chorus]: When I am haunted by your vision I will cause you pain At me you spit your derision You are my obsession You are repelled by my existence But you will soon be trained My sins atoned for in silence An act of contrition Held before my eyes Though distant enough to be seen If I were to pull it too close I'd blur it to its full extreme I'm barren of anything else A lunatic's need to possess you [Chorus] When I am haunted by your vision I will cause you pain At me you spit your derision You are my obsession You are repelled by my existence But you will soon be trained My sins atoned for in silence An act of contrition Rational thought Has vanished and fled for its life The one goal after which I've sought It's upon your fear that I thrive [Bridge]: When written words are now legible The story can be told But when they're thrust too close to my eyes They become a blindfold And it's then, reality Fades into obscurity Then I find that my mania Is out of control I tighten the grip on my obsession But I can''t be consoled Now it's made me dangerous To all but you I'm oblivious Distortions, perverse and unfair You're threatened as I dominate You need me, so why are you scared? From my grasp there is no escape [spoken] Don't you ever think of leaving me You are mine until I set you free The pain you feel is of no consequence Many suffer, few survive... I'm not one with whom to be toyed Your mind easily I'll destroy Enforcing my supremacy Accept me, I'm your destiny [Chorus] When I am haunted by your vision I will cause you pain At me you spit your derision You are my obsession You are repelled by my existence But you will soon be trained My sins atoned for in silence An act of contrition

A shadow, I prowl these decadent streets Perversion, degradation my soulmates An observer, I'm amidst the innocent weak My fascinations are salacious and unchaste This netherworld of carnality is my existence I don't walk alone, for this is my home And my subsistence I silently drift through these darkened paths I'm a witness to human psyche in decay There's nothing here but burnt-out bodies and souls A breeding ground for the depraved I've plunged beyond the sickest depths of pruriency What is normal to me is far beneath what is seen as mere "obscenity" [Chorus]: Can you feel the pain Of these souls deranged? Can you feel the pain I have lived inside These pathetic minds And it's menacing Psychosis and lust is so dangerous Sexuality at its most diseased Has enslaved us... I wish I could give you severe details But now's not the time nor the place I've sojourned through the vilest combat zones And been invovled in acts that are debased Virtuous lives are crushed in this malevolent den of thieves There's no escape from the abduction and rape of virginity Scenic nightmares of brutal self-indulgence Nothing is sacred, especially life I completely share my amorality With the hookers and the hustlers that stalk this night Shocking, disgusting displays of human indignities Anything can be achieved in sexual iniquities [Chorus] Can you feel the pain Of these souls deranged? Can you feel the pain I have lived inside these pathetic minds And it's menacing Psychosis and lust is so dangerous Sexuality at its most diseased Has enslaved us... I''ve been seduced into this realm Why? I cannot say... I've cleansed myself from all that's pure I've now incurred disgrace I can''t put my finger on the attraction I'm not an anomaly In my domain of abomination Psychosexuality... I have a personal obsession with pain Dealing, receiving, to me its the same Its a tragic game Excruciation that goes unrestrained To others this pleasure may be insane Or at the least profane Virgins forced to perform unspeakable deeds Immaculate youth placed in impurity The screams of pain, I have heard the screams Of quiet exits, but forced entry Desperate souls of one accord With their lives in this sordid world Women defiled for that vein-numbing fix Bestiality, this is sick Orifices committing disgust Grotesque forays into macabre lusts Why am I here? I've been drawn In this shameless world I belong... [Chorus] Can you feel the pain Of these souls deranged? Can you feel the pain I have lived inside these pathetic minds And it's menacing Psychosis and lust is so dangerous Sexuality at its most diseased Has enslaved us... [Chorus] Can you feel the pain Of these souls deranged? Can you feel the pain I have lived inside these pathetic minds And it's menacing Psychosis and lust is so dangerous Sexuality at its most diseased Has enslaved us... Men who pluck children from their families Teaching a man''s "rules" to this younger breed To the black-market, parents sell their young under eight Anything older out here is too late Adolescence their fate... Snuff films with their discreet mutiliations Anonymous fiends and confused, unwilling victims Desecrating unblemished bodies and minds Breaking and torturing, then ending their lives I have watched them die... You've been given a glimpse of this pornographic scene Some of it scares me, all of it excites me This is my horrible, demented hell Once you're trapped down here I wish you well Why am I here? I've been drawn But honestly, do I belong? [Chorus] Can you feel the pain Of these souls deranged? Can you feel the pain I've been trapped inside these pathetic minds And it's menacing Psychosis and lust is so dangerous Sexuality at its most diseased has enslaved us...

Femininity, a sacred life My goals and dreams achieved, or soon they might Unintruded being, innocent Young, with a hopeful future to be spent I can't believe my idiocy You came along with your invasion Your act of violence not of lust Upon me... Racing through these darkened streets at night Fleeing from the terror that haunts me I am chosen, this can't be right The pain that your thrust brings [Chorus]: I don't want your flesh I'm not your whore But you want my blood I'm not a whore Trapped down here inside A nightmare that's become reality A heinous violation Of my humanity Right before my eyes I see my world Fractured so precise by one so cold Through your veins run ice, I beg of thee As I lie paralyzed please let me be From within your soul I stare I don't think I'll live to see this end You'll reign eternally through my nightmares If I ever sleep again The hatred directed at me ''cause of what I am Is as chilling as the defilement itself I wonder, what kind of beast is man? What emotions are and not felt? [Chorus] I don't want your flesh I'm not your whore But you want my blood I'm not a whore I can''t even comprehend Why this act has come to be Proven time and time again The ultimate sadistic release [Bridge]: This violent form of incarceration Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie I refuse this indoctrination Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine An ancient inherited shame Bonding women and horror Outlasting the boundaries of time Enslaved forevermore Inherent crimes Through generations has become a terror cycle... You can't see me but you feel me You only want what you don't understand You can't have me so you take me Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand You look in my eyes and you tell me What do you see? Of this I'm deserving? You can't see me but you feel me You only want what you don't understand You can't have me so you take me Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand You need to crush me with your lividity Does this make you feel more like a man You can't have me, so you rape me My innocence strangled by your hand This must be necrophilia, for I am dead inside Your violent misogyny, your strength drowns my cries In shock, I'm crippled with disbelief This can't be happening to me Oh god, this hurts, I'm bleeding from friction Unconcious I'm pleading to be... You cannot imagine the anger I feel Nor can you imagine the pain and despair This double jeopardy soon happens again When they scrape me for semen and hair My mind is frozen with your face intact This atrocity from which I haven't been spared From now on, I'll only know lovemaking through An act of intense terror The malevolence which pours over me You fill me with your rage It's mortifying, diabolical Controlling through this stage I struggle to cope with what's happening I'm praying for my death I've done nothing wrong, I've been victimized So I'll pray for yours instead The physical torment inflicted on me Is insufferable but it doesn't compare To your terrible criminal mentality And the scars I'll forever bear To live through this brutal show of force Will cause me years of torment and grief Awaiting this misery to run its course As I scream out incessant pleas [Bridge] This violent form of incarceration Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie I refuse this indoctrination Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine An ancient inherited shame Bonding women and horror Outlasting the boundaries of time Enslaved forevermore I will force myself to carry on And vengeance will be ultimately mine If you are not imprisoned soon By my hands you will die... [Chorus] I don't want your flesh I'm not your whore But you want my blood I'm not a whore Through rape you've created me A victim not above revenge A churning, seething mass of hate But you haven't conquered my soul

Leading quiet lives of desperation We maniacally cling to the unreal Life pursues its stranglehold Upon us, its pain revealed We, as a race, are frail and weak Crises leave us paralyzed We strain to deal with what's thrown at us We're therefore traumatized Really, I speak for no one but me And I am losing my grasp On that which I must call "myself" This burden might be my last Stranded and sinking into remorse The darkest recesses of my mind The cavernous tyranny of pain and fear Is lunacy far behind? [Chorus]:: I have dealt eternally with anguish I have learned to live with my distress From all this trauma comes profound catharsis And a way to cope with my life's bitterness Loneliness draped around my neck In its sinister seduction I pray a light will come from this My frightened introspection A lifetime of misery and its brethen Has depleted my reserves And this has brought me the true conclusion *nothing* is what I deserve My early involvement in sordid acts Has left me scarred for life The road I have taken, self-doubt intact Denigration is my wife Am I a slave to the powers that be? Have I any inner strength? Fleeting struggles of humanity I pontificate at length [Chorus]: I have dealt eternally with anguish I have learned to live with my distress From all this trauma comes profound catharsis And a way to cope with my life's bitterness As an outcast, I've become inner-dependent Trapped in a world of lies But now I must question my own self-worth That leaves me demoralized Possessing fate of mental demons Surrounds my soul in these masses of pain Voices damning all of my thoughts Self-infliction capacities retained I'm not the only one in this world Who's suffered through emotional discord Intensities-caustic and penetrating Is it me I've spent all my life hating? Thinking distorted emotions clouded By my personal asceticsm In condemnation I've been enshrouded Acetylene baptism [Chorus]: I have dealt eternally with anguish I have learned to live with my distress From all this trauma comes profound catharsis And a way to cope with my life's bitterness I've expunged a multitude of, but sad to say Not all my doubts and fears But I look forward with trepidation And step with caution into my remaining years I am quite sure that in these words There's not much hope that things will ever change Maybe my time for suffering's past And I can vaguely hope for brighter days [Chorus]: I have dealt eternally with anguish I have learned to live with life's distress From all this trauma came profound catharsis And a way to cope with my life's bitterness

Potentially there's no safety Inside these walls, I'm forced to be Unprotected to cruelty I'm not at my own mercy The most important time in my life Is governed by an unstable mind On another I depend My own life I can't defend [Chorus]: Will I survive? To see the day arrive When I am cast forth And endangered nevermore Incarcerated and force-fed Your disparity a constant threat Are you qualified to reign? Is my destruction pre-ordained? I am not a parasite Will I be punished by your spite? I await my destiny And possibly your enmity [Chorus] Will I survive? To see the day arrive When I am cast forth And endangered nevermore [Bridge] Completely under your dominion I'm not here of my own volition, no [Chorus] Will I survive? To see the day arrive When I am cast forth And endangered nevermore I'm locked away, a nonentity Sacrificed by antipathy My pleas aren't heard So I'm tortured It's perilous in this domain And I'm dead if I remain I pray that you Don't cause my doom...

The psychological impact of a film that we all love Its negative imagery that preys upon our young How could we be so blind? Now we step inside conceptually a different view And uncover the horror that we're injecting into All our children's minds Born into a peasant monarchy A life of inherited luxury This newborn Prince with his silver spoon His life unfolds and will change soon His father, the King, is not ever around Never deigning to walk on his own son's ground A tragic young life spent in a broken home Looking forward to years of life alone [Chorus]: Leading the life of hell His story, you know it well In death he'd finally be free Could this be what it seems to be? As this Prince enters his first few years A menagerie known as his friends appears Misfits one and all One, who lives to create turbulence Another, who straddles an androgynous fence And we're not sure where he'll fall Minute is his contact with the outside world Unhardened to the likely peril it holds Until one day, with his mother, the Queen He's thrust into a ghastly scene Like animals, with weapons they're pursued By men with butcherous attitudes His mother, the victim of the "Thrill of the Chase" With a bullet, she loses this deathrace [Chorus] Leading the life of hell His story, you know it well In death he'd finally be free Could this be what it seems to be? [Bridge] Then his woman is forced into A precarious position and looks doomed Assaulted and raped by more than one Members of a gang that are on the hunt Add to this the destructiveness Of the fire that rages without rest Decimating his neighborhood Torching his land where his home once stood Brutal cinematic display, upon our children's minds it preys A subtle induction into horror, with implications we can't ignore Malevolence hidden behind doe-eyes How many see through its disguise? Burning itself into the minds it haunts Is this really what we want? [Chorus] Leading the life of hell His story, you know it well In death he'd finally be free Could this be what it seems to be?
