Now through the pain and through the anger I can see the
truth -
It's harsh and heavy, and it's thrashing all my dreams of
youth.
I want to cry, I want to scream - but something holds my
breath.
I want to flee, I want to run, but I fear from the death.

I want to flee; I want to run from this reality.
And now I find what I sought for in my insanity.
Insanity - my only way to run away and hide.
I take this path, I throw my life, I kill the dying mind.

  [chorus:]
  My friend insanity...
  He'll always come for me in the time of need.
  My friend insanity...
  He's always by my side when my soul starts to bleed.

Will I hear my silent screams
In the land without a name?
Will I still have all my dreams
When the whole world seems the same?

I have ripped away my heart with my bare hands.
I have caused myself wounds that will never mend.
I'm just a hollow shell, I am no longer a man,
And I have just one friend left from my variety of
friends...

  [chorus:]
  ...My friend insanity...
  He'll always come for me in the time of need.
  My friend insanity...
  He's always by my side when my soul starts to bleed.
