Mind Apocalypse

Inside these hollow eyes is a world of nightmares
Deep down inside this soul, hysteria reigns a queen
She stands upon a spiraled staircase of twisted chairs
High above a swamp of fire is where darkness screams
A cacophony of her screeching and cackling shrieks
Swirling a kaleidoscope of painful memories into view
Perpetual mental anguish is only meant to keep me weak
Promising me I will never be able to find comfort
Whenever I think I have overcome her terror, I find
Every chaotic moment left encumbered
Bursting back open in an apocalypse of my mind
