No Escape Today is like any other, Yesterday, today & tomorrow, all blur together. Day in and day out, everyday the same, I wish I could escape this game. The Beast visits most when least expected, My face drains of colour, and I feel quite infected. Into one eyeball, always just the one, the Beast comes, Blinding and piercing like I’ve been poked hard, with a thumb. My eye seems to freeze as if turned to ice, And the pressure builds as if placed in a vice. My nose starts to run and my eye begins to tear, As my body is gripped with fear. Red hot nails, they pierce and twist in my eye, The burning is such that I wish to die. Sharp blades cut and rip through my skull, As I pace the room and bang my head on the wall. I can feel my cranium crack, As all my world turns to black. For one hour or maybe two, How long it really lasts, I dare not tell you. For all that time, I pace and I walk, Sat on my bed, back and forth I rock. I suck on oxygen and drink caffeine, I can be quite snappy and downright mean. But eventually the nails are removed, as are the blades, And the pain within, all but fades. I am drained, I am spent, My energy is at zero percent. I need water, I need food, But instead, I lay here unable to move. I take one deep breath, and maybe two, Before the next symptoms ensue. Then the crying truly begins, As my body shakes from my bones to my skin. I am racked with hot convulsions in wave upon wave, To this terror I am now but a slave. Eventually, even this fades to a whimper, As my body begins to shiver. Wrapped in a blanket I raise myself up, Sloshing some water into a cup. Today was like any other, Yesterday, today & tomorrow, they all blur together. Day in and day out, everyday the same, Oh, how I wish I could escape this pain.

To the tune of sound of silence in the style of Disturbed: Hello Clusters, my ol' friend. You've come to haunt me once again. You rudely wake me when I'm sleeping. My nostril's blocked and my eye's weeping. And the demon that was planted in my brain Still remains. I feel the pound Then shadows. From restless dreams I wake alone With the pain I toss and moan Search thru darkness for the table lamp As I whimper with a cranial cramp When my eye was stabbed in a flash with a red hot knife I cried in fright And felt the pound Then shadows. In the naked fright I'm raw 10,000 attacks, maybe more Doctors assessing without treating Doctors speak without connecting Doctors writing scripts where patients lose their hair And no one cared Of the pound nor shadows And in the next few year's I saw Ten thousand doctors maybe more Doctors hearing without listening Doctors touching without healing Doctors writing scripts, that seemed like living hell And nothing helped Erase the pain, of Clusters.... The unafflicted cannot know The shadows like a cancer grow Hear my screams that I might teach you Feel my pain that I might reach you But my tears like acid raindrops fell And held me in the realm of sorrow But what this devil doesn't know I will fight and I will grow Because those shadows will soon give up and you'll support me until they stop Cause we're all in this together.. no matter what..until it stops. We will continue fighting And I stood and fought and stayed Of the beast I'm not afraid And the beast lashed out his warning Feel the burning and the pain swarming And the beast said your head and your body will be bouncing off the sheetrock walls I kicked his balls And now he feels the pound, and shadows.
