The Face of Insanity

Take a second Take a seat Take a breath And if you'd please Take some notes And take from these Words the lessons That shaped the man Behind the face that you see As I try to shed a flooded light On just what going nuts is like Look up in the sky and see the stars Where all I see is emptiness and bars That like a prison from afar Keep my dreams inside a jar Like fireflies that are as bright As they are hopeless in their fight Against the darkness of the night Look into these eyes and see the start Where I began to fall apart And through my pupils view a heart That is running slowly out of beats As fast as it is being newly scarred By the decisions of a brain That for so long has tried so hard So pointlessly to mask insanity As a consequence of being smart
