It is about leading someone close to me into a place of anguish and depression that one can hardly expect to leave.
1.
Held up by
My final chain,
I pull and tug
There is no escape
Trapped within the labyrinth
Of my mind
I wander and search
There is no escape
Leading him through every passage
And every emotion
I lead him through to you
There is no escape
Providing me with sanity,
Reassurance
He urges and pushes me to you
There is no escape for you know
I have sealed your fate,
I have showed him the way
He will kill you,
There is no escape
2.
My reward is sanity,
To finally gain control
I have sealed your fate,
Rewarded with my own
But what is this,
It is rotten and impure
This guilt has plagued me
Has taken my sanity
He has taken all
Wiped my life away
Like the disease I really am
The Reaper claims his prize
My sanity
3.
Stripped of life,
Of essence and emotion
I sit here
Ridden with the words of his mind
Why are you here
End it now
Sacrifice, suicide
These are his benedictions
I cannot face him,
I killed you, he did not
I stripped you of your skin,
I tore your mind away
He is not here
He is not real
Reaper all my own
Reaper of all I've known
Sanity is the Reaper
So enticing, so luscious
I never needed it
It needed me
It has me know
Take me, embrace me
Sanity is my Reaper
Insanity my angel
Reaper all my own
Plaguing me to kill all that I love
