Story Behind The Song
This is the first song I ever wrote. I was 16 years old at the time. Many years ago I recorded this on my old recording system with the help of my Turtle Beach sound card. I thought I'd put it out there just for the fun of it. I hope you like it.
Song Description
I never got into drugs although many of my good friends did. After hearing many descriptions of what it was like to be trippin' I tried to imagine tripping in my bedroom. But in reality the words could fit many different scenarios. Take your pick.

Lyrics
THERE IS A VISION INSIDE OF ME
I CAN'T GET RID OF IT IT WON'T LEAVE
AS I PICK FRUIT FROM THE AIR
I FIND I'M NOWHERE NOWHERE
THERE'S SOMETHING,
IT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T FIND
IT'S SOMETHING MISSING,
MISSING FROM MY MIND
MY MIND, MY MIND
I FIND MY SELF VIS-À-VIS
TO FIND ME SHATTERED BY MY FIST
I FEEL THE VISION SEEPING OUT
THIS BLOWS MY MIND I SCREAM AND SHOUT
FOR THE EYES IN THE WALL THEY LOOK AT ME
AND I KNOW FOR SURE
THAT THEY WON'T LEAVE
SO I HIDE MY SOUL UNDER SHEETS
OF FLASHING COLORS AND PURPLE SEAMS
I LOOK AHEAD TO SEE MY FATE
FOR THE DEVIL BREATHS WHEN TIME IS LATE
I SHUT MY BRAIN FROM ALL ABOUT
I HOLD MY EARS TO SCREAM AND SHOUT
FOR WITH THIS DARK BLACK FIGURE
IN MY MIND
TELLIN' ME WHERE I WAS BLIND
THE BADGERED GHOST IS PUSHING ME
I TRY TO FIGHT BUT I CAN'T SEE
THE MONKS ALL GATHER FOR PLUTO'S REIGN
EITHER I'M DEAD NOW OR I'M INSANE
INSANE
INSANE
