	Psychological portrayal of a fictional serial killer named Johnathan.
	CD: "Darkness of the Mind" and Thrash Metal Sampler
	Story Behind the Song One of the earliest Criminally Insane songs, and one of the most popular tracks from our Thrash Metal Sampler, and for our live shows. The song is now also featured on our full length, "Darkness of the Mind". The song is written about a character we created named Johnathan. He is named Johnathan, since it is one of the most popular names in the English language, it shows that despite his need to kill, he is very human. We also attempted to dive deep into Johnathan's psyche, which is portrayed in the lyrics. This was from our first recording session at Watchmen Studios, on October 30, 2001. This was one of the 3 songs we finished entirely in that first day of recording. Lyrics My life filled with violence. My sight fades to red. When my hate begins to consume me, The most hellish demons are awakened… No happiness without tears No life without death Nothing just quite as sweet As a mans last dying breath Complicated reality My dreams I take to keep I ask you to beware I will give you cause to weep Chorus: My mind is a tangled web Reality blurs itself No remorse in my eyes Mixed emotions confuse my thoughts Looking back it didnt seem unpleasant Actually I kind of enjoyed it I find release in my victims To escape reality... Looking at my victims eyes As I squeeze the breath from them From that moment they realize, I am their god Looking down upon my victim Feeling a strange and peaceful thrill I wish that I could stop But I had no other thrill Chorus: Thinking back it all seemed right No mistake made I Nothing seems just quite so fun As making people die I cant help but think Why am I doing this? But then I realized I had no other happiness Chorus: I wish it could be stopped No one to reach out to I looked at my bloodied hands The scars on my soul show The pain mixed with the joy in my heart I wish someone could help me
