Traumagician - The Tell-Tale Heart

I am not mad
Though I have been ill
And the vulture eye beams upon me still
I love that man, just as I love you
I'm an honest gentleman through and through

The neighbors heard a shriek, it seems
It was only me, beset by dreams
Do come in, do your exams
You will see, you will hear, how sane I am
You will see, you will hear, how sane I am

The eye, the vulture Eye
The Eye

I am not mad
Though I have been ill
I have neither the strength nor the motive to kill
The man and his Eye are away with friends
While I stay here, his home to tend

His Vulture Eye, it watches all
And casts upon the world a pall
Watching, waiting
Until you DIE
Love the man, but hate his eye
Love the man, but hate his eye

I CAN'T be mad
For the mad can't plan
And I've planned as only a SANE man can
You have no cause to suspect poor me
Just look around and you will see

Search this house and search it good
You'll find no blood upon the wood
I've fooled the Eye and I'll fool you too
Fooled the Eye and I'll fool you too

No, I am not mad
And I hear so well
I hear sounds from Heaven and sounds from Hell
And even now, I hear a tap
What is that? Oh, what is that?
Tell me true--do YOU hear that?

The heart, his horrible heart
The heart! The Tell-Tale Heart
Don't smile at me! I know you hear
My well-laid plans all disappear
At the pounding, confounding sound
Of the tell-tale heart

Yes, yes, I killed him! It is true
His arms, his legs, his head removed
And yet his heart still pounds at me
Pull up the boards and you shall see

HIS HEART! The tell-tale heart
The heart, the tell-tale heart
The heart, the tell-tale heart
The heart, the tell-tale heart

Why does it not stop beating?
Why does it not stop?
