The title is inspired by the John Carpenter film
"In the Mouth of Madness". The lyrics have some references to "Hellraiser". It's about how sex controls us to the point that we choose stimulation over reason. I suppose its about any unhealthy addiction, but specifically here, there are many references of an erotic nature. Our bodies are weak and we always tend to give in to impulses.
The beginning clip is a Jeffrey Dahmer quote
our producer threw on. It's strangely fitting.
lyrics
THE MIND IS FILLED WITH WONDROUS THINGS
BUT DARKENED TUNNELS LEAVES ME BLIND
MY VISION OF A PERFECT WORLD
THREADS OF REALITY TORN AT THE SEAMS
THE MOUTH OF MADNESS MAKES NO SOUND
MY HEART IS FOREVER HELLBOUND
UNCONSCIOUS LINES, DECREPIT RIMES
ANXIETY FROM LACK ON TIME
LOOK AT MY FATE AND FALSELY EQUATE
THAT MY LIFE IS EATEN LIKE YESTERDAY'S DREAMS
BLOOD IS THE LIFE, FLESH IS SO WEAK
WE ARE ALL JUST PIECES OF MEAT
THERE IS NO LIFE, THERE IS NO DEATH
THERE IS NO LOVE, ONLY FLESH
AND I'LL FEED MINE, A PIECE AT A TIME
TO THE INFINITE BLACK NOTHINGNESS
THERE IS NO LIFE, THERE IS NO DEATH
THERE IS NO HOPE, ONLY FLESH
AND I'LL FEED MINE, A PIECE AT A TIME
TO THE INFINITE BLACK NOTHINGNESS
THE CLOCK IS IMPENDING, I'M ALWAYS DESCENDING
DARKNESS NEVER ENDS
INTO THE ABYSS TO TASTE YOUR SERPENT KISS
MADNESS NEVER ENDS
I'M ALWAYS CONDEMNED TO REPEAT SINS AGAIN
DARKNESS NEVER ENDS
AND GET LOST IN YOUR LABYRINTH LEVIATHAN
MADNESS NEVER ENDS
DARKNESS NEVER ENDS
MADNESS NEVER ENDS
