Dr. Philips & The Arcane Disorder
In 1867 renowned researcher Dr. John P. Philips, started investigating a string of weird and unexplainable accounts of madness and despair.
In his search for answers, he discovered a global connection linking each account to the other.
In what he described as: "The Arcane Disorder", Dr. Philips interviewed dozens of "patients" and uncovered hundreds of manuscripts leading back to as early as 1534.
He bundled his early findings into a collective he called: "Into the Arcane".
These are his stories.

Sleepless we lie, thoughtless we cry
As I lie, tossing and turning
I slip into a void
Wide awake, unable to move
A cold breath makes my skin feel cold
Sleepless we lie
A pressure upon my chest
Hard for me to breathe
A demon shaped figure,
upon me, as I lie underneath
Wide awake as I dream
Terror grips, I try to scream
What is this creature that I see
Tonight I die or so it seems
Thoughtless we cry

My Other Self

My Other Self
This is my other self
What is this what I see before me
Can someone tell me this is real
My mind keeps playing tricks on me
I can not control what I feel
I feel my limbs
Acting on their own
I have no control
As if they are alone
Reaching for objects
Not my will
Doubting movement
Could it kill?

Een Leven Niet Geleefd

Een Leven Niet Geleefd
Every day I look out my window
and watch the seasons go by
Why can't I see, what will happen?
I have to know, how will I die?
Een leven niet geleefd
Want ik heb niets meer om te geven
Ik zit gevangen in mezelf
Op zoek naar rust in mijn leven
People smiling, children play
Can't go out, imagine what they would say?
Closed my windows, bolted my doors
No one can enter, I fear no more
Een leven niet geleefd
Want ik heb niets meer om te geven
Ik zit gevangen in mezelf
Op zoek naar rust in mijn leven
Help me
Weeks too late, they found my body, still seated in my chair
All I wanted, was for you , for you see me for you to care
I had to choose, one choice was left
My final choice, took my last breath

Reptilian Masquerade

Reptilian Masquerade
Prosopometamorphosia
A term for her condition
The faces before her, are like shells
Morphing into something else
Reptilian Masquerade
She never told anyone, the tricks of her mind
Believing it was normal to see this "other kind"
Reptilian Masquerade
It destroyed her sense of a social being
Relationships fail, because of what she is seeing
She described their faces as black and long
A protruding snout and dragon like features, so strong
Bright yellow eyes and reptiloid skin
Seeking help, didn't know where to begin

Thoughts on Breathing

Thoughts on Breathing
I will be the breath in your lungs
I will be the shoes on your feet
My love is true, can't you see
But I end it all with your deceit
My thoughts on breathing are not my own
Must keep loving you and you alone
My thoughts on breathing, end it all
This curse you put on me, for I will fall
I am here
Must stay awake
Conscious breathing
This is my fate
My thoughts on breathing are not my own
Must keep loving you and you alone
My thoughts on breathing, end it all
This curse you put on me, for I will fall
All the things my body once did,
It does now only by conscious thought
A single moment of inattention and I die
Meeting you, the misery that you've brought
My thoughts on breathing are not my own
Must keep loving you and you alone
My thoughts on breathing, end it all
This curse you put on me, for I will fall

Lijdensdruk
Ik ren, ik roep en schreeuw zo hard
Maar niemand kan mij horen
Eenzaam in die volle straat
Loop ik alleen en zo verloren
Het verlangen van mijn geest
Is om vrijheid te ervaren
De lijdensdruk neemt af
Mijn demonen, die bedaren
Ik blijf voor altijd liggen
De tijd voor staan, die is voorbij
Ik blijf voor altijd liggen
Met mijn depressie, zij aan zij
Het verlangen van mijn geest
Is om vrijheid te ervaren
De lijdensdruk neemt af
Mijn demonen, die bedaren
Twijfelend aan mijn leven
Blijf ik mijn angsten herbeleven

21, When I Died
04:49

21, when I died
It started, I was young, I left it all behind
Delusion of negation, embedded in my mind
Denial of existence, (is) the centre of it all
Distorted my visions but I can't make that call
Playing the cards, that I've been dealt
It started, I was young, I left it all behind.
Delusion of negation, embedded in my mind
Denial of existence, (is) the centre of it all
Distorted my visions but I can't make that call
Deterioration of my body, is what I felt
To see, to bleed, to witness to what I've seen
To feel alive, not the self I've always been
To feel, alive, while my body is dead
Seeking help, my mind let go of what it had
I was 21, when I died

My Sane Asylum
It was just, a simple test
Say you hear the voices, inside your head
A simple role, for you to play
False insanity, would go away
Insanity or fact?
Reality, your mind's intact
Walk these halls with me
I'll show you where you can stay
If you want to leave
You'll have to change what you say
Convincing, even the best
We rigged, the entry test
Walk these halls with me
I'll show you where you can stay
If you want to leave
You'll have to change what you say
Why must I stay here?
Why can't I leave?
My Sane Asylum
