JaCkeD iN tHe hOuSe thaT wAS wAck BUILT

I went to a house which was not a house
 I opened a door that was not a door
 And what I saw I saw
 Broken mirrors in the attic
 Addict reflecting addict
 Each one staring back emphatic
 While bouncing off the wall
 Let sleeping dogs lie if they can't tell the truth
 Turn a lazy blind eye and taste a rotten tooth
 Perhaps the one eyed cat
 has an untold story to tell
 About the hitchhikers puffing pipe dreams
 With horrific fairy tales to tell
 Once upon times
 Ending tragically ever after
 The cursed mind of a Madman
 With complacency for disaster
 The audacity of such blasphemy
 The revelations in the fabrications
 Enthrallment with blurry vision
 The misspelled writing's on the wall
 It's not fantastic fantasies
 It's unfathomable realities
 The ungrateful and unfaithful
 Deny the truth even when they see the living proof
 It sounds paranoid and ridiculous
 Maybe fictitiously inconspicuous
 That I believe the bastards out to get me
 But maybe you should believe it too
 Because you may or may not
 Believe in the devil
 Some don't and some do
 One thing that's for certain
 THE DEVIL DAMN FOR SURE BELIEVES IN YOU
 I closed a door that was not a door
 I went hence forth from a house Which was not a house
 And what I've seen
 Can't be unseen
