A Touch of Insanity

As I have been listening to more and more music from my past, I'm discovering how much of the music I liked had to do with the way I felt. This song is from a whole album that seems to speak from a perspective of what it's like to be a little crazy. The song is "Duality" by Slipknot. I also included the lyrics below.

This, to me, is how it feels to be crazy and how it feels when reality starts to slip as the illness takes over.

Duality

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it pushes it's way inside
If the pain goes on...

I've screamed until my veins collaped
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now all I do is live with so much hate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces, then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way
Nothing is what it seems!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it pushes it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got... all I've got is insane...
All I've got... all I've got is insane...
All I've got... all I've got is insane!
All I've got... all I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it pushes it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got... all I've got is insane...
All I've got... all I've got is insane...
All I've got... all I've got is insane!
All I've got... all I've got is insane!
