Lyrics:
The voices whispering inside your head,
Confine your thoughts deep inside cells of noise,
Confusion carries you into the dark,
Where everything it touches it destroys.

Patterns of shape and light disorient,
What happens when you can't trust trust itself?
Blinded by the glare of anarchy,
Igniting violence that you meant to quell.

You speak with the angels and demons,
Even though nobody else but you sees them,
Their voices grow louder as they ready their attack.
Screaming their secrets like poison-tongued sirens,
Bathing you deep in emotional violence,
You're lost in the desert with no one to lead you back.

When reality becomes non-sequitur,
With every sense you have deceiving you,
You don't deserve this terrifying life,
Hold tight the tether you're connected to.

You speak with the angels and demons,
Even though nobody else but you sees them,
Their voices grow louder as they ready their attack.
Screaming their secrets like poison-tongued sirens,
Bathing you deep in emotional violence,
You're lost in the desert with no one to lead you back.

Whoa. I was reading toms blog and learned that the "female" voice in the chorus was actually him with a pitch shift tool.

@8BitJay

I was actually just thinking of this recently - a similar effect can be found in the chorus of Crush from Meta. I think it's a nice touch.

Tom is a genius with this. Influenced by the 80's synth bands and he took it to a whole new level. Buying all his CDs now! Gotta give him his due.

@BartyMae He's an amazing song writer. I am always finding cool new little bits in A23 songs that I didn't know were there or hadn't heard before.
