Confessions of the Keyhole
 
Confessions of the keyhole.
And the door to the darker side. 
Shadows crawl from underneath. 
Performing thoughts we hide.
 
The door is locked to the sane of mind. 
But the madman sets it free. 
The keyhole calls, come gaze inside. 
Look upon reality. 
  
Confessions of the keyhole 
Listen to your eyes. 
Do they scream for absolution? 
Or call to crucify? 
  
Confessions of the keyhole. 
Can never be untrue. 
For what is seen are thoughts and dreams. 
Locked away by you. 
  
The journey into darkness. 
Lies behind the unmarked door. 
And only the crying keyhole. 
Can reveal what is in store. 
  
Ignore his words and pay the price. 
On this, you must rely. 
For the keyhole does not call them twice. 
And the madman waits close by.
