The Frayed Ends of Sanity Lyrics

Never hunger never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends
Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Birth of terror death of much more
I'm the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings
Spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings
Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me

Into run I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free
Flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside me
Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me, ha ha ha

What is the Meaning of The Frayed Ends of Sanity?

Ever felt like you're slowly losing your grip on reality while battling your inner demons? This intense track delves into the harrowing experience of mental deterioration and paranoia, particularly focusing on schizophrenia and dementia. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone trapped in a downward spiral, fighting against their own fears while feeling increasingly isolated and persecuted. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the growing sense of paranoia with "everyone's after me," eventually morphing into "myself is after me" – suggesting that the real enemy lies within. The maniacal laughter at the end perfectly captures the complete unraveling of sanity. It's a raw, honest look at mental health struggles and the terrifying journey through psychological breakdown. #MentalHealth #InnerDemons #Paranoia #PsychologicalHorror
