Am I insane? I ask myself over and over and over again Trapped in my brain Pull it out from the cracks in my skull Am I alone? Surrounded by shadows I think I might just be suffocating The devil came to take me to hell But I'm already there Am I insane? Am I insane? Am I insane? The devil came to take me to hell But I'm already there I won't let you be the death of me No I refuse to let you bring me down Bring me down I won't let you make me out to be The one who's in the wrong And I've lost my mind before But now I'm back And I'm better than ever Am I insane? I've rolled myself over And screamed till I spit up blood Trapped in my brain The answer has taken my hands to pull my eyeballs out Am I alone? The voices who fight in my brain just won't fucking go away The devil came to take me to hell But I'm already there Am I insane? Am I insane? Am I insane? Am I alone surrounded by death? I think this might just be the end Am I insane? Am I insane? Am I insane? The devil came to take me to hell But I'm already there You can't take this away from me You can't release these demons You can't make this OK for me You're the one who caused these feelings I apologize for what I'm about to do I try to sympathize But at the end of the day You brought this on yourself I won't let you be the death of me No I refuse to let you bring me down Bring me down I won't let you make me out to be The one who's in the wrong And I've lost my mind before But now I'm back And I'm better than ever Now I'm back And I'm better than ever The tears Have left a blur That I can't explain The pain Has left a hole In which my heart should've been I'm blind with rage And I can't shake this feeling Irrational Impetuous And intemperate I'm blind with rage And I can't shake this feeling Irrational Impetuous And temperate I won't let you be the death of me I refuse to let you bring me down Bring me down I won't let you make me out to be The one who's in the wrong And I lost my mind before But I'm back and I'm better than ever
