The Art of Subconscious Illusion Songtext
von Avenged Sevenfold

A living nightmare, asleep but still aware
The endless torture, the painless pleasure
I grasp myself

Trying to regain control
I experience and learn
In another faction of my mind, so confused
But everything makes perfect sense
Can′t feel the pain
Emotional pain's so much deadlier

Lost, you′ve just been raped (pain)
Your friends can't help you
Why won't they help you?
Another reality

This can′t be happening
Why is this happening?
Who the fuck are you?
Who the fuck...
Are you?


Trying hard to figure out what′s done
I scramble but now I run
The images in my head
All the problems that I've been fed
All the problems that I′ve been fed
Are problems in my head

Punching slowly, my mind can't change the speed
As my victims bleed
No matter what I do or how hard I try
I can′t use my abilities
Use my abilities

Art of Illusion
My razor sharp knife's edge (my razor sharp knife′s edge)
Pierces my victim's body (pierces my victim's body)
But I can not take their soul (but I can not take their soul)

Punching through jello (punching through jello)
Stabbing, not killing (stabbing, not killing)
Disappointment (disappointment)
Discomfort (discomfort)

My razor sharp knife′s edge
Pierces my victim′s body
But I can't take their soul


Punching through jello
Stabbing, not killing
Disappointment
Discomfort
