My Heart Beats Madness

Verse I
Feelings and emotions somehow can survive
In a life that's not even there
But they are bent and twisted and torn apart
And it's more than most can bear

Verse II
Sickening are the thoughts
Imprisoned in my brain
And frightened are the people
Who think I've gone insane

Refrain
My heart beats acid through my veins
Through my arteries and to my brain
And my heart beats madness through the night
It pervades the darkness, it is my only light

Verse III
If you can afford to have a conscience
That's all good and well for you
But when you're hungry and you are cold
You do what you gotta do

Verse IV
'Cause if you're not rich and you don't own the law
Then life is a battle every day
They break your body, then take your soul
And tell you it's the price you have to pay

Refrain
That's why my heart beats acid through my veins
Through my arteries and to my brain
And my heart beats madness through the night
It pervades the darkness and it is my only light

Verse V
Hatred is the flavor
Of everything I taste
And revenge is on the menu
For all the Hell I've faced

Verse VI
Hard is the heart because it has to be
You won't find me drowning in your travesty
Take a look at yourself and you will see
The same bitterness that's inside of me

Refrain
Yes, my heart beats acid through my veins
Through my arteries and to my brain
And my heart beats madness through the night
It pervades the darkness, it is my only light ........
