00:11I wake beneath the ceiling, no other eyes can see
00:18Four walls built out of questions, closing in on me
00:24Every word I should have spoken, every wound I tried to hide
00:30Turns into another shovel throw, throwing dirt from the inside
00:38There's no lock upon the door, still I can't get out
00:45Every whisper grows a voice, every voice becomes a shout
00:52I'm buried in a mental tomb, still breathing but there's no room
00:59Thoughts like nails inside my head keep pounding till the light is dead
01:05No hands to pull me from the gloom, no flowers grow inside this room
01:11I'm trapped alone but never alone, buried alive in my mental tomb
01:24In my mental tomb
01:32Silence isn't silence, it's a thousand miles at war
01:37Dragging chains across my memory, digging up what came before
01:44I argue with reflections that don't recognize my face
01:50While every fear I've ever buried climbs up to take its place
01:57I keep running through the dark, but the dark runs just as fast
02:03Every road bends back around to the graveyard of my past
02:10I'm buried in a mental tomb, still breathing but there's no room
02:17Thoughts like nails inside my head keep pounding till the light is dead
02:24No hands to pull me from the gloom, no flowers grow inside this room
02:30I'm trapped alone but never alone, buried alive in my mental tomb
02:50I used to know which thoughts were mine, now strangers wear my voice
02:56They tell me I was born condemned, that madness is my choice
03:02The walls are moving closer, I can taste them on my tongue
03:09I've screamed so long inside myself, I've forgotten how silence sounds
03:15One thought becomes ten, ten become a hundred
03:20Round and round again, the walls begin to thunder
03:23Reason turns to ashes, reality comes undone
03:26The prisoner and the jailer have finally become wild
03:31I'm buried in a mental tomb
03:34Where every shadow knows my wounds
03:37Thoughts like worms beneath my skin
03:40Keep crawling out and back again
03:44No morning breaks, no daylight blooms
03:47Just endless nights inside this room
03:50I had a name, but now it's gone
03:53The mind survived
03:59But I moved on
04:03There's no stone above my head
04:06No coffin in the ground
04:10Just a mind that kept on thinking
04:13Just a mind that kept on thinking
04:14Till it drove itself insane
04:18Insane
04:23This mental tomb
04:27Was built without a cell
04:32Was built without a cell
